[Answered ]-Change form dynamically in django

by

2👍

I would use a base form class, and have two different forms inherit from the base one. You can load a different form via ajax depending on user input. You can probably even use the same template for the form. Your view would have something like

form=simpleFormA()

and

form=simpleFormB()

based on what ‘method’ is. forms.py would change to something like this:

_a_choices = (
("a", "A"),
("b", "B"),
("c", "C"),
)

_d_choices = (
("d", "D"),
("e", "E"),
)


class simpleForm(forms.Form):
    # this is the first form
    # all other fields here
    simple_variable = forms.DecimalField()

class simpleFormA(simpleForm):
    chosen_method = forms.ChoiceField(label="Método", choices=_a_choices)

class simpleFormB(simpleForm):
    chosen_method = forms.ChoiceField(label="Método", choices=_b_choices)

Make sense?
