hey Im new to django and i need help i have a form that has two fields one of them is a choicefield and the choices attribute gets its data from views but the problem is when i call the form both fields return none here is my forms.py
class AddToCardForm(forms.Form):
quantity = forms.CharField(required=True,
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={
'class': 'form-control',
'type': 'text',
'name': 'quantity',
'value': "1",
'size': "2",
'id': "input-quantity",
}))
color = forms.ChoiceField(widget=forms.Select(attrs={
'name': "color",
'class': "form-control",
}),
required=True,)
def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
my_arg = kwargs.pop('choices', None)
super(AddToCardForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['color'].widget.choices = my_arg
and here is my views.py
def ItemDetail(request, slug):
item = get_object_or_404(models.Item, slug=slug)
template_name = "core/test.html"
li = []
for i in item.color.all():
tu = (i.color_name, i.get_color_name_display())
li.append(tu)
form = forms.AddToCardForm(request.POST or None, choices=li) #
context = {
'object': item,
'form': form
}
if request.method == 'POST':
print(form['color'].value())
print(form['quantity'].value())
if form.is_valid():
color = form.cleaned_data.get('color')
print(color)
quantity = form.cleaned_data.get('quantity')
print(quantity)
add_to_cart_quantity(request, slug, int(quantity), color)
else:
print('form invalid')
print(form.errors)
return render(request, template_name, context)
