django-args

django-args is the Django wrapper on python-args.

python-args provides the ability to decorate functions with validators, context, and default value processors. django-args takes this a step further, allowing any function decorated with python-args to seamlessly integrate with Django form views and form wizards.

Quick Start

django-args provides the following core views, which we cover in-depth in the ref:django-args tutorial:

  1. djarg.views.FormView - For constructing a form view on a python-args function.

  2. djarg.views.WizardView - For constructing a django-formtools form wizard on a python-args function.

Each one of these views has additional extensions for easily constructing views on top of models. Here are a few:

  1. djarg.views.ObjectFormView - For form views on a single object.

  2. djarg.views.ObjectsFormView - For form views on multiple objects.

  3. djarg.views.ObjectWizardView - For wizards on a single object.

  4. djarg.views.ObjectsWizardView - For wizards on multiple objects.

django-args also provides several utilities to facilitate Django integration with python-args functions:

  1. The djarg.qset utility is a python-args lazy loader and allows users to lazily load a queryset for a function.

  2. The djarg.views.SuccessMessageMixin mimics Django’s SuccessMessageMixin for form views, but it is compatible with all django-args views.
