There is something like common patterns in django, such as general views

Question

The general look has saved a lot of code for me, but I still have to write templates for each model. I have the same code throughout the ie template

<form action="/{{type}}/{{ action }}/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" > {% csrf_token %} {% for field in form %} <div class="fieldWrapper"> {{ field.errors }} {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }} </div> {% endfor %} <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p> </form> 

Basically I want all fields from the model to be added or edited.

is there any work to automatically create a common template

Answer 1

If you have template code that is identical, you can use include tag :

 {% include "foo/bar.html" %} 

And the included code can be changed using variables:

 {% include "name_snippet.html" with person="Jane" %} 

Even if the code is different for each template (I think your example is talking about forms with different fields, not sure), you can still use include - just do two blocks:

 {% include "startform.html with some_action="post" %} {{ field.errors }} {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }} {{ field.field2_tag }}: {{ field2 }} {% include "endform.html %} 

There is also template inheritance where you can define a base template and inherit all other templates. Block-based inheritance, you can redefine blocks in the parent template with the new code in the child template. It works very well.

In django, templates can be on their own!

You can use a different form for each model within the same template using {{form.attribute}}

Here is the django oficial doc

Answer 3

Check out the ModelForm helper application . It will make a form from any model, which can then be used in a simple form template.
