There's a number of snippets to display booleans in Django Forms as checkboxes (i.e. specifying Checkbox as a widget). For instance (assuming a boolean field defined in the model for bar):
class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Foo
fields = ['bar']
widgets = {
'bar' : CheckboxInput(attrs={'class': 'required checkbox form-control'}),
}
However I also need to display a (disabled) checkbox in DetailView (client says so). But I can't figure out an elegant way to do this, since I don't have a form meta for details view...
My current thinking is something like this (bootstrap checkbox):
<div class="form-check">
<label class="form-check-label">
<input type="checkbox" {% if foo.bar %}checked{% endif %} disabled>Bar
</label>
<\div>
Any way to accomplish this in a fashion closer to the Form's widgets?
in the view get you form and set initial value
get the model object and set bars initial value
form = YourForm(initial={'bar':modelObject.bar })
and then send the form to the template and simply render like form.bar you can disable this with many ways
like
class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Foo
fields = ['bar']
widgets = {
'bar' : CheckboxInput(attrs={'class': 'required checkbox form-control','disabled':'disabled or true'}),
}
or find and use any template filter to add attribute to form field
