help_text - Проверка поля формы Django

Опубликовано: 24 Февраля, 2022

Встроенные проверки полей форм в Django Forms - это проверки по умолчанию, которые предопределены для всех полей. Каждое поле имеет встроенные проверки валидаторов Django. Каждый конструктор класса Field принимает некоторые фиксированные аргументы.

The help_text argument lets you specify descriptive text for this Field. If you provide help_text, it will be displayed next to the Field when the Field is rendered by one of the convenience Form methods. The default help_text for a Field is empty. Let’s check how to use help_text in a field using a project.

Syntax

field_name = models.Field(option = value)

Django Form Field Validation help_text Explanation

Illustration of help_text using an Example. Consider a project named geeksforgeeks having an app named geeks.

Refer to the following articles to check how to create a project and an app in Django.

  • How to Create a Basic Project using MVT in Django?
  • How to Create an App in Django ?

Enter the following code into forms.py file of geeks app. We will be using CharField for experimenting for all field options.

from django import forms
  
class GeeksForm(forms.Form):
    geeks_field = forms.CharField(help_text = "Enter your Name")

Add the geeks app to INSTALLED_APPS

# Application definition
  
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    "geeks",
]

Now to render this form into a view we need a view and a URL mapped to that view. Let’s create a view first in views.py of geeks app,

from django.shortcuts import render
from .forms import GeeksForm
  
# Create your views here.
def home_view(request):
    context = {}
    form = GeeksForm(request.POST or None)
    context["form"] = form
    if request.POST:
        if form.is_valid():
            temp = form.cleaned_data.get("geeks_field")
            print(temp)
    return render(request, "home.html", context)

Here we are importing that particular form from forms.py and creating an object of it in the view so that it can be rendered in a template.
Now, to initiate a Django form you need to create home.html where one would be designing the stuff as they like. Let’s create a form in home.html.

<form method = "POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <input type = "submit" value = "Submit">
</form>

Finally, a URL to map to this view in urls.py

from django.urls import path
  
# importing views from views..py
from .views import home_view
  
URLpatterns = [
    path("", home_view ),
]

Let’s run the server and check what has actually happened, Run

Python manage.py runserver


Thus, an geeks_field CharField is created with help_text “Enter your Name”.

More Built-in Form Validations

Field OptionsDescription
requiredBy default, each Field class assumes the value is required, so to make it not required you need to set required=False
labelThe label argument lets you specify the “human-friendly” label for this field. This is used when the Field is displayed in a Form.
label_suffixThe label_suffix argument lets you override the form’s label_suffix on a per-field basis.
widgetThe widget argument lets you specify a Widget class to use when rendering this Field. See Widgets for more information.
help_textThe help_text argument lets you specify descriptive text for this Field. If you provide help_text, it will be displayed next to the Field when the Field is rendered by one of the convenience Form methods.
error_messagesThe error_messages argument lets you override the default messages that the field will raise. Pass in a dictionary with keys matching the error messages you want to override.
validatorsThe validators argument lets you provide a list of validation functions for this field.
localizeThe localize argument enables the localization of form data input, as well as the rendered output.
disabled.The disabled boolean argument, when set to True, disables a form field using the disabled HTML attribute so that it won’t be editable by users.
