How to create your own "pack" of forms in Django?

Question

Django

There are a lot of repeating cruds on the site, the forms for which are very lazy to write-copy. And I want to render my forms with one tag (well, or a filter).
Django has as_t, as_p forms, and crispy_forms has as_div (which is ugly).
Is it possible to create templates for each type of Field (with all the necessary attributes, js widget initializations, etc.), put them somewhere and render a form from them on the page? I saw in the documentation that you can put a widget class in each field, but it’s too not beautiful, and mixing logic is not good in the form handler to write how it looks.

Answer 1

You can try to create one form, and inherit the rest from it, you can immediately rewrite any form methods.
You can write your own form.as_my_form, or render the form in a custom filter.

Answer 2

UPDATE: I moved it to the code in a separate library - https://github.com/viewflow/viewform
Available via pypi: pip install django-viewform
------------------
You can use package django-floppy-forms and define your templates for standard and non-standard widgets - django-floppyforms.readthedocs.org/en/latest/custo...
Unfortunately, as my practice shows. this is often not enough. Immediately after the custom rendering of widgets is done, there are wishes like - "and in this form, render this widget like this, but a little differently", For example, add a bootstrap prepend icon to the input field.
With floppy-forms, you have to get into Python code, which seems like a bit of an overhead.
I started to make my own version, which allows me to override the default rendering of widgets, and, if necessary, change some details in the template of a specific form.
The general idea is like with block inheritance, but blocks are created dynamically and for each field.
And each block can be redefined, inside a specific form template:

{% viewform 'viewform/bootstrap3/form.html' form=form layout=view.layout %}
        {% viewpart field_icon 'my_field_name' %}
        <span class="glyphicon glyphicon glyphicon-pencil form-control-feedback"></span>
        {% endviewpart %}
    {% endviewform %}

This is not yet a separate package, but you can already see how it is implemented here - https://github.com/kmmbvnr/django-viewflow/blob/ma...
