Dataforms Form ValidationΒΆ
Validation on Dataforms is very similiar to how you would do validation on a regular Django form. The are only 2 things that you needs to remember:
Make sure you declare a staticmethod decorator on all methods that are to be used for validation on Dataforms
The name of you validation class has to match the slug of the dataformfor which you intend to validate.This is accomplished by create_form_class_title method in dataforms.forms.For example: a slug of ‘my-bio’ will translate to ‘MyBioForm’
Below is an example of how this could work:
from django import forms
class BaseValidationForm(object):
@staticmethod
def clean(self):
raise forms.ValidationError('clean base error')
# The name of your form slug should be 'personal-information'
class PersonalInformationForm(BaseValidationForm):
@staticmethod
def clean(self):
raise forms.ValidationError('clean error')
@staticmethod
def clean_textbox(self):
raise forms.ValidationError('clean field error')
