how to add form as data in class-base views? - django

Question

I used to send form as content in function-base-view and I could use for loop to simply write down fields and values like:
{% for x in field %}
<p>{{ x.label_tag }} : {{ x.value }} </p>
I don't remember whole the way so maybe I wrote it wrong but is there anyway to do this with class-based-views, because when I have many fields its really hard to write them 1by1

Not entirely sure if this is what you need. But still I will try to answer. I took an example with class AuthorDetail(FormMixin, DetailView) as a basis. In get_context_data saved the form itself. In the template, first I displayed the form, then the value from the bbs model and requested
form.message.label_tag. To get the tag, I looked at this documentation.
In the class, replace the Rubric model with your own. In the template path: bboard/templ.html replace bboard with the name of your application where your templates are located.
views.py
class Dw(FormMixin, DetailView):
model = Rubric
template_name = 'bboard/templ.html'
form_class = TestForm
context_object_name = 'bbs'
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(Dw, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['form'] = self.get_form()
print(77777, context['form']['message'].label_tag())
return context
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object = self.get_object()
form = self.get_form()
if form.is_valid():
return self.form_valid(form)
else:
return self.form_invalid(form)
forms.py
class TestForm(forms.Form):
message = forms.CharField()
templates
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="adding">
</form>
<h2>{{ bbs }}</h2>
<h2>{{ form.message.label_tag }}</h2>
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('<int:pk>/', Dw.as_view(), name='aaa'),
]
