Re: Django Forms vs Angularjs

Thanks for your response. Currently I am dealing with a form with individual field permissions. I guess it explains it gets difficult with Django Form, which are made for only editing. I know a custom read-only field can be created in the code below.  I am still struggling with post the form with labels not fields. As I newcomer to Django, it's very convenient to have these capabilities on a regular with simple form permissions. But once it gets bit more complicated in security, Form object is not very helpful or i maybe am missing a point. 

from django.utils.html import escape
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
from django.forms.util import flatatt

class ReadOnlyWidget(forms.Widget):
    def render(self, name, value, attrs):
        final_attrs = self.build_attrs(attrs, name=name)
        if hasattr(self, 'initial'):
            value = self.initial
            return mark_safe("<p %s>%s</p>" % (flatatt(final_attrs), escape(value) or ''))

    def _has_changed(self, initial, data):
        return False

class ReadOnlyField(forms.Field):
    widget = ReadOnlyWidget
    def __init__(self, widget=None, label=None, initial=None, help_text=None):
        super(type(self), self).__init__(self, label=label, initial=initial, 
            help_text=help_text, widget=widget)
        self.widget.initial = initial

    def clean(self, value):
        return self.widget.initial

I am a new comer to Django. Last four weeks I have been working on web application purely created with Django framework. 

I realized that Django forms are very cumbersome to use. 

What is cumbersome about them? Can you post some of your form code that you find cumbersome? Maybe you are doing something that is more complicated than it needs to be.

My experience with Django forms is that they get something up and running very quickly and very easily and run into problems when I try to do something more complicated. And then the main problem for me is if I have a lot of forms on the same page: the page starts to render very slowly. But the code is still fairly simple.

 

I'd rather have DRF (rest framework) and just angularjs form. I am sure alot users will bombard me tons of oppositions. 

DRF is awesome!  If you are more familiar with Angular than Django, it might be a good way for you to go.
