Hi,
I find it useful when validating formsets to sometimes define and set an
attribute that can be used during validation.
{{{
class MyFormSet(BaseFormSet):
useful_attribute = None
def clean(self):
super().clean()
# validation code using self.useful_attribute...
# usage in a view...
the_formset = formset_factory(MyForm, formset=MyFormSet, extra=0)
bound_formset = the_formset(initial=initial_results,
form_kwargs=form_kwargs)
bound_formset.useful_attribute = useful_value
}}}
I'm wondering if formset_kwargs could be added to BaseFormSet to follow
the form_kwargs pattern. The suggested usage would be something like this:
{{{
class MyFormSet(BaseFormSet):
def __init__(self, useful_attribute, *args, **kwargs):
self.useful_attribute = useful_attribute
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def clean(self):
super().clean()
# validation code using self.useful_attribute...
# usage in a view...
the_formset = formset_factory(MyForm, formset=MyFormSet, extra=0)
bound_formset = the_formset(initial=initial_results,
form_kwargs=form_kwargs,
formset_kwargs={"useful_attribute": useful_value})
}}}
The kwargs provided in formset_kwargs would then be passed to MyFormSet
when it is instantiated.
