I'm trying to do passing a variable to form from view on Django.
Simply, what I want to do is something like this below.
# views.py
def tmp(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
f = tmpForm(request.POST)
if f.is_valid():
// something more here.
else:
// this will pass nothing to the form
f = tmpForm()
// want to pass variable/parameter to the form
initial = '''{
"hoge": "hogehoge"
}'''
f = tmpForm(initial) // should be something like this maybe?
return render(request, 'tmpapp/tmp.html', {'form': f})
# forms.py
class tmpForm(forms.Form):
// retrieve the variable/parameter and set `initial` or something like that
json = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea, label='', help_text='JSON formatted data here.', initial=
textwrap.dedent(
# '''{
# "hoge": "hogehoge"
# }'''
initial // so you can use the variable like this.
)
)
So, How can I implement this?
