Django Formset
The missing widgets and form manipulation library for Django
Overview:
The django-formset library enhances the user experience for handling single forms and collections of forms in Django by providing better customization and rendering options compared to the internal Django formsets implementation. It offers features such as support for multiple CSS frameworks, various input widgets, asynchronous file uploading, alternatives for select widgets, and customizable button actions.
Features:
- Support for multiple CSS frameworks: Including Bootstrap 5, Bulma, Foundation 6, Tailwind, and UIkit.
- Multiple input widgets: Render all widgets provided by Django, including multiple checkboxes and radio selects with various option groups.
- File uploading widget: Allows asynchronous file uploading with drag-and-drop functionality, file preview, and faster submission.
- Alternatives for select widgets: Replaces default HTML select widgets with autocomplete options and custom styling for multiple selects.
- Editable many-to-many relations: Offers widgets for many-to-many relations with source and target options, database querying for large datasets, filtering, redo/undo functionality, sorting, and additional fields.
- Django
Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It follows the model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern, providing an extensive set of built-in tools and conventions to streamline the creation of robust and scalable web applications.
- Bootstrap
Bootstrap is the most popular CSS Framework for developing responsive and mobile-first websites.
- Bulma
Bulma is a free, open source CSS framework based on Flexbox and built with Sass. It's 100% responsive, fully modular, and available for free.
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Dark Mode
Dark mode is a user interface option that uses a dark color scheme instead of light. It reduces eye strain and improves visibility in low-light conditions. Implementing dark mode in a website or application involves updating the styles and color palette to support both light and dark modes.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Rollup
RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
