I'm facing a quite challenging taks:
I need an inlineformset_factory
connecting my ParentEntity
to my foreign key-bound ChildEntities
.
My ChildEntity
contains a foreign key relation I need to filter per logged-in user - so I need the request in the ChildForm
.
What I've tried so far:
form=
kwarg but I can't pass an instance - just a class. So no way for me to add the request here.formset=
kwarg but when I try to pass the request=request
as a kwarg of the inlineformset_factory
I get an error (Unexpected kwarg)Any idea what I can do?
Sometimes asking a colleague is even faster than StackOverflow
:)
Here's my solution:
forms.py
class BaseFormSet(BaseInlineFormSet):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.request = kwargs.pop("request", None)
super(BaseFormSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
views.py
MyFormSet = inlineformset_factory(ParentEntity, ChildEntity, formset=BaseFormSet, form=ChildForm, extra=2, max_num=max_num, can_delete=False)
...
formset = MyFormSet(request.POST, instance=obj, request=request)
