| 1 | +Integration with Django forms |
| 2 | +============================= |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Graphene-Django comes with mutation classes that will convert the fields on Django forms into inputs on a mutation. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +FormMutation |
| 7 | +------------ |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +.. code:: python |
| 10 | +
|
| 11 | + class MyForm(forms.Form): |
| 12 | + name = forms.CharField() |
| 13 | +
|
| 14 | + class MyMutation(FormMutation): |
| 15 | + class Meta: |
| 16 | + form_class = MyForm |
| 17 | +
|
| 18 | +``MyMutation`` will automatically receive an ``input`` argument. This argument should be a ``dict`` where the key is ``name`` and the value is a string. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +ModelFormMutation |
| 21 | +----------------- |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +``ModelFormMutation`` will pull the fields from a ``ModelForm``. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +.. code:: python |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | + class Pet(models.Model): |
| 28 | + name = models.CharField() |
| 29 | +
|
| 30 | + class PetForm(forms.ModelForm): |
| 31 | + class Meta: |
| 32 | + model = Pet |
| 33 | + fields = ('name',) |
| 34 | +
|
| 35 | + # This will get returned when the mutation completes successfully |
| 36 | + class PetType(DjangoObjectType): |
| 37 | + class Meta: |
| 38 | + model = Pet |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | + class PetMutation(ModelFormMutation): |
| 41 | + class Meta: |
| 42 | + form_class = PetForm |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | +``PetMutation`` will grab the fields from ``PetForm`` and turn them into inputs. If the form is valid then the mutation |
| 45 | +will lookup the ``DjangoObjectType`` for the ``Pet`` model and return that under the key ``pet``. Otherwise it will |
| 46 | +return a list of errors. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +You can change the input name (default is ``input``) and the return field name (default is the model name lowercase). |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +.. code:: python |
| 51 | +
|
| 52 | + class PetMutation(ModelFormMutation): |
| 53 | + class Meta: |
| 54 | + form_class = PetForm |
| 55 | + input_field_name = 'data' |
| 56 | + return_field_name = 'my_pet' |
| 57 | +
|
| 58 | +Form validation |
| 59 | +--------------- |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Form mutations will call ``is_valid()`` on your forms. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +If the form is valid then ``perform_mutate(form, info)`` is called on the mutation. Override this method to change how |
| 64 | +the form is saved or to return a different Graphene object type. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +If the form is *not* valid then a list of errors will be returned. These errors have two fields: ``field``, a string |
| 67 | +containing the name of the invalid form field, and ``messages``, a list of strings with the validation messages. |
