'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'foo@example.com', + ... 'cc_myself': True} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + +In this dictionary, the keys are the field names, which correspond to the +attributes in your :class:`Form` class. The values are the data you're trying to +validate. These will usually be strings, but there's no requirement that they be +strings; the type of data you pass depends on the :class:`Field`, as we'll see +in a moment. + +.. attribute:: Form.is_bound + +If you need to distinguish between bound and unbound form instances at runtime, +check the value of the form's :attr:`~Form.is_bound` attribute:: + + >>> f = ContactForm() + >>> f.is_bound + False + >>> f = ContactForm({'subject': 'hello'}) + >>> f.is_bound + True + +Note that passing an empty dictionary creates a *bound* form with empty data:: + + >>> f = ContactForm({}) + >>> f.is_bound + True + +If you have a bound :class:`Form` instance and want to change the data somehow, +or if you want to bind an unbound :class:`Form` instance to some data, create +another :class:`Form` instance. There is no way to change data in a +:class:`Form` instance. Once a :class:`Form` instance has been created, you +should consider its data immutable, whether it has data or not. + +Using forms to validate data +---------------------------- + +.. method:: Form.is_valid() + +The primary task of a :class:`Form` object is to validate data. With a bound +:class:`Form` instance, call the :meth:`~Form.is_valid` method to run validation +and return a boolean designating whether the data was valid:: + + >>> data = {'subject': 'hello', + ... 'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'foo@example.com', + ... 'cc_myself': True} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + >>> f.is_valid() + True + +Let's try with some invalid data. In this case, ``subject`` is blank (an error, +because all fields are required by default) and ``sender`` is not a valid +e-mail address:: + + >>> data = {'subject': '', + ... 'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'invalid e-mail address', + ... 'cc_myself': True} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + >>> f.is_valid() + False + +.. attribute:: Form.errors + +Access the :attr:`~Form.errors` attribute to get a dictionary of error +messages:: + + >>> f.errors + {'sender': [u'Enter a valid e-mail address.'], 'subject': [u'This field is required.']} + +In this dictionary, the keys are the field names, and the values are lists of +Unicode strings representing the error messages. The error messages are stored +in lists because a field can have multiple error messages. + +You can access :attr:`~Form.errors` without having to call +:meth:`~Form.is_valid` first. The form's data will be validated the first time +either you call :meth:`~Form.is_valid` or access :attr:`~Form.errors`. + +The validation routines will only get called once, regardless of how many times +you access :attr:`~Form.errors` or call :meth:`~Form.is_valid`. This means that +if validation has side effects, those side effects will only be triggered once. + +Behavior of unbound forms +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +It's meaningless to validate a form with no data, but, for the record, here's +what happens with unbound forms:: + + >>> f = ContactForm() + >>> f.is_valid() + False + >>> f.errors + {} + +Dynamic initial values +---------------------- + +.. attribute:: Form.initial + +Use :attr:`~Form.initial` to declare the initial value of form fields at +runtime. For example, you might want to fill in a ``username`` field with the +username of the current session. + +To accomplish this, use the :attr:`~Form.initial` argument to a :class:`Form`. +This argument, if given, should be a dictionary mapping field names to initial +values. Only include the fields for which you're specifying an initial value; +it's not necessary to include every field in your form. For example:: + + >>> f = ContactForm(initial={'subject': 'Hi there!'}) + +These values are only displayed for unbound forms, and they're not used as +fallback values if a particular value isn't provided. + +Note that if a :class:`~django.forms.fields.Field` defines +:attr:`~Form.initial` *and* you include ``initial`` when instantiating the +``Form``, then the latter ``initial`` will have precedence. In this example, +``initial`` is provided both at the field level and at the form instance level, +and the latter gets precedence:: + + >>> class CommentForm(forms.Form): + ... name = forms.CharField(initial='class') + ... url = forms.URLField() + ... comment = forms.CharField() + >>> f = CommentForm(initial={'name': 'instance'}, auto_id=False) + >>> print f + Name: + Url: + Comment: + +Accessing "clean" data +---------------------- + +.. attribute:: Form.cleaned_data + +Each field in a :class:`Form` class is responsible not only for validating +data, but also for "cleaning" it -- normalizing it to a consistent format. This +is a nice feature, because it allows data for a particular field to be input in +a variety of ways, always resulting in consistent output. + +For example, :class:`~django.forms.DateField` normalizes input into a +Python ``datetime.date`` object. Regardless of whether you pass it a string in +the format ``'1994-07-15'``, a ``datetime.date`` object, or a number of other +formats, ``DateField`` will always normalize it to a ``datetime.date`` object +as long as it's valid. + +Once you've created a :class:`~Form` instance with a set of data and validated +it, you can access the clean data via its ``cleaned_data`` attribute:: + + >>> data = {'subject': 'hello', + ... 'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'foo@example.com', + ... 'cc_myself': True} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + >>> f.is_valid() + True + >>> f.cleaned_data + {'cc_myself': True, 'message': u'Hi there', 'sender': u'foo@example.com', 'subject': u'hello'} + +.. versionchanged:: 1.0 + The ``cleaned_data`` attribute was called ``clean_data`` in earlier releases. + +Note that any text-based field -- such as ``CharField`` or ``EmailField`` -- +always cleans the input into a Unicode string. We'll cover the encoding +implications later in this document. + +If your data does *not* validate, your ``Form`` instance will not have a +``cleaned_data`` attribute:: + + >>> data = {'subject': '', + ... 'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'invalid e-mail address', + ... 'cc_myself': True} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + >>> f.is_valid() + False + >>> f.cleaned_data + Traceback (most recent call last): + ... + AttributeError: 'ContactForm' object has no attribute 'cleaned_data' + +``cleaned_data`` will always *only* contain a key for fields defined in the +``Form``, even if you pass extra data when you define the ``Form``. In this +example, we pass a bunch of extra fields to the ``ContactForm`` constructor, +but ``cleaned_data`` contains only the form's fields:: + + >>> data = {'subject': 'hello', + ... 'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'foo@example.com', + ... 'cc_myself': True, + ... 'extra_field_1': 'foo', + ... 'extra_field_2': 'bar', + ... 'extra_field_3': 'baz'} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + >>> f.is_valid() + True + >>> f.cleaned_data # Doesn't contain extra_field_1, etc. + {'cc_myself': True, 'message': u'Hi there', 'sender': u'foo@example.com', 'subject': u'hello'} + +``cleaned_data`` will include a key and value for *all* fields defined in the +``Form``, even if the data didn't include a value for fields that are not +required. In this example, the data dictionary doesn't include a value for the +``nick_name`` field, but ``cleaned_data`` includes it, with an empty value:: + + >>> class OptionalPersonForm(Form): + ... first_name = CharField() + ... last_name = CharField() + ... nick_name = CharField(required=False) + >>> data = {'first_name': u'John', 'last_name': u'Lennon'} + >>> f = OptionalPersonForm(data) + >>> f.is_valid() + True + >>> f.cleaned_data + {'nick_name': u'', 'first_name': u'John', 'last_name': u'Lennon'} + +In this above example, the ``cleaned_data`` value for ``nick_name`` is set to an +empty string, because ``nick_name`` is ``CharField``, and ``CharField``\s treat +empty values as an empty string. Each field type knows what its "blank" value +is -- e.g., for ``DateField``, it's ``None`` instead of the empty string. For +full details on each field's behavior in this case, see the "Empty value" note +for each field in the "Built-in ``Field`` classes" section below. + +You can write code to perform validation for particular form fields (based on +their name) or for the form as a whole (considering combinations of various +fields). More information about this is in :doc:`/ref/forms/validation`. + +Outputting forms as HTML +------------------------ + +The second task of a ``Form`` object is to render itself as HTML. To do so, +simply ``print`` it:: + + >>> f = ContactForm() + >>> print f + + + + + +If the form is bound to data, the HTML output will include that data +appropriately. For example, if a field is represented by an +````, the data will be in the ``value`` attribute. If a +field is represented by an ````, then that HTML will +include ``checked="checked"`` if appropriate:: + + >>> data = {'subject': 'hello', + ... 'message': 'Hi there', + ... 'sender': 'foo@example.com', + ... 'cc_myself': True} + >>> f = ContactForm(data) + >>> print f + + + + + +This default output is a two-column HTML table, with a ```` for each field. +Notice the following: + + * For flexibility, the output does *not* include the ```` and + ``
`` tags, nor does it include the ``
`` and ``
`` + tags or an ```` tag. It's your job to do that. + + * Each field type has a default HTML representation. ``CharField`` and + ``EmailField`` are represented by an ````. + ``BooleanField`` is represented by an ````. Note + these are merely sensible defaults; you can specify which HTML to use for + a given field by using widgets, which we'll explain shortly. + + * The HTML ``name`` for each tag is taken directly from its attribute name + in the ``ContactForm`` class. + + * The text label for each field -- e.g. ``'Subject:'``, ``'Message:'`` and + ``'Cc myself:'`` is generated from the field name by converting all + underscores to spaces and upper-casing the first letter. Again, note + these are merely sensible defaults; you can also specify labels manually. + + * Each text label is surrounded in an HTML ``
