Re: How to filter results using forms in Django/Python (best approach) ?

It's not clear what's the purpose of the view you are showing. ¿Is it supposed to display a form with "haircolor" and "status" fields and filter the results it displays based on that?

In that case you can declare a form:

from django import forms

class ScreeningForm(forms.Form):

    haircolor = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CandidateLook.HAIRCOLOR_CHOICES)

    status = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CandidateToJob.STATUS_CHOICES)

then you can use it in your view, for example to display it:

class Screening(generic.DetailView):

    model = Job

    template_name = 'dashboard/screening.html'

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):

        context = super(Screening, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)

        context['form'] = ScreeningForm()

        return context

HTML:

<form method="get" action=".">

    {{ form.as_p }}

    <input type="submit" value="Filter" />

</form>

        

(the code above just creates, displays and submits the form, it does not filter your results yet)

I'm kind of new in python/django and I'd like to know: What's the best approach to filter results in Django using forms in a view?

I need to filter candidates by haircolor, according to the model CandidateLook and by status, according to CandidateToJob model.

Thanks in advance.

Here is my code:
