README
CURRENTLY, LIBRARY ISN'T UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT!
---
**Documentation**: https://reforms.boardpack.org
**Source Code**: https://github.com/boardpack/reforms
---
Reforms is a fresh pydantic-based forms validation and rendering library for Python 3.6+.
The key features are:
* **Familiar**: Expanded Pydantic retaining all data validation and model creation
capabilities.
* **Easy**: Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs.
* **Theming**: Supported the usage of existing template pack and the creation of your
own.
## Requirements
Python 3.6+
Reforms has the next hard dependencies:
* Pydantic for the data parts.
* Jinja2 for the templates.
## Installation
```console
$ pip install git+http://github.com/boardpack/reforms
---> 100%
```
## Example
In the next example, we will use FastAPI
as a web framework. So you need to install `fastapi` and `uvicorn` first. Also, you
need to install `python-multipart` library to turn on forms support in FastAPI.
```console
$ pip install fastapi uvicorn python-multipart
---> 100%
```
### Create it
* Create a file `models.py` with `UserModel` pydantic model:
```Python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from reforms import StringField, BooleanField, EmailField
from reforms.validators import Length
class UserModel(BaseModel):
first_name: StringField(
label="First Name",
field_id="firstName",
placeholder="John",
validators=[Length(min=5)],
)
last_name: StringField(
label="Last Name",
field_id="lastName",
placeholder="Doe",
validators=[Length(min=5)],
)
email: EmailField(
label="Email",
field_id="email",
placeholder="[email protected]",
)
has_github: BooleanField(label="Has Github account?", field_id="hasGithub") = False
```
_(This script is complete, it should run "as is")_
* Then you can create a FastAPI application and use this model to generate form
layout and validate data. Reforms has special `on_model` function, which works
with `Depends` from FastAPI to convert raw form data into pydantic model object.
Create a file `main.py` with:
```Python hl_lines="8 19 23 28"
import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Depends
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse, RedirectResponse
from fastapi.templating import Jinja2Templates
from starlette.status import HTTP_302_FOUND
from reforms import Reforms, on_model
from models import UserModel
app = FastAPI()
forms = Reforms(package="reforms")
templates = Jinja2Templates(directory="templates")
@app.get("/", response_class=HTMLResponse)
async def index(request: Request):
user_form = forms.Form(UserModel)
return templates.TemplateResponse(
"index.html",
{"request": request, "form": user_form},
)
@app.post("/", response_class=RedirectResponse)
async def handle_form(form: UserModel = Depends(on_model(UserModel))):
print(form)
return RedirectResponse("/", status_code=HTTP_302_FOUND)
if __name__ == '__main__':
uvicorn.run(app)
```
_(This script is complete, it should run "as is")_
* As the last coding step, you need to create a template (now **reforms** supports only
**jinja2** templates). You can use just form object to render all fields
simultaneously or render every field separately (as it mentions in the selected
commented line).
```HTML hl_lines="10"
Example reforms page
{{ form }}
{#{{ form.first_name }}#}
```
_(This template is complete, it should use "as is")_
### Run it
Run the server with:
```console
$ uvicorn main:app --reload
INFO: Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
INFO: Started reloader process [28720]
INFO: Started server process [28722]
INFO: Waiting for application startup.
INFO: Application startup complete.
```
About the command uvicorn main:app --reload...
The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:
* `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").
* `app`: the object created inside of `main.py` with the line `app = FastAPI()`.
* `--reload`: make the server restart after code changes. Only do this for development.
or just with:
```console
$ python main.py
INFO: Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
INFO: Started reloader process [28720]
INFO: Started server process [28722]
INFO: Waiting for application startup.
INFO: Application startup complete.
```
### Send it
Open your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
You will see the web form:

### Check it
Finally, you can see a printed validated model object in your console:
```bash hl_lines="8"
INFO: Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
INFO: Started reloader process [28720]
INFO: Started server process [28722]
INFO: Waiting for application startup.
INFO: Application startup complete.
INFO: 127.0.0.1:33612 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 OK
