In my view.py I have a variable - for example 'email'. In my forms.py I have an email field - for example:
email = forms.EmailField(label="Email adress")
I would like to change this to:
email = forms.EmailField(label="Email adress", widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'readonly': 'readonly'}))
when email variable from my view.py is filled (from None to any value). By default email is set to None. How can I achieve that?
You can use the Form init() to set the attributes:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# Either pass as kwarg form = MyForm(email='[email protected]')
email = kwargs.get('email', None)
# Or as initial value form = MyForm(initial={'email': '[email protected]'})
email = self.fields['email'].initial
if email is not None:
self.fields['email'].attrs.update({'readonly': 'readonly'})
# or you could potentially do this, depending on what you're trying to achieve
self.fields['email'].disabled = True
