Here is my form class:
class VinForm(forms.Form):
VIN = forms.CharField(min_length=13,max_length=13, label='VIN')
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(VinForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.helper = FormHelper()
self.helper.form_method = 'post'
self.helper.form_class = 'form-horizontal col-xs-12 col-md-6 col-lg-5'
self.helper.label_class = 'col-xs-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3'
self.helper.field_class = 'col-xs-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12'
self. helper.layout = Layout(
Fieldset(
'Get vehicle info',
Field('VIN', autofocus=True, placeholder='JN1HJ01F8RT231164'),
),
FormActions(
Submit('submit', 'get vehicle info'),
),
)
Please note that I'm not using a ModelForm
since there is no need for it. When I enter 3 digits for the VIN it should show an error. Currently it is not showing any error. How can I fix this?
Here is my rendering in template:
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% crispy form %}
my view:
class HomePageView(FormView):
success_url = '/dashboard/'
template_name = 'home.html'
form_class = VinForm
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(HomePageView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['vehicle_count'] = 1234 #Glucose.objects.count()
form = VinForm()
context['form'] = form
return context
