How to pass form to Class-based generic views(TodayArchiveView)?

url.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
import os.path
from crm.views import *

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    (r'^test/$', tView.as_view()),
)

views.py

from django.views.generic import TodayArchiveView
from crm.forms import *
from crm.models import *

class tView(TodayArchiveView):
    model = WorkDailyRecord
    context_object_name = 'workDailyRecord'
    date_field = 'date'
    month_format = '%m'
    template_name = "onlyWorkDailyRecord.html"
    form_class = WorkDailyRecordForm ################## ADD

tView is generic view.... WorkDailyRecord is defining model in models.py

I want to pass form('WorkDailyRecordForm' class in forms.py) to template(onlyWorkDailyRecord.html)

How??

add

forms.py

from django import forms

class WorkDailyRecordForm(forms.Form):
    contents = forms.CharField(label='',
            widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'placeholder': 'contents', 'style':'width:764px; height:35px;'}),
            required=False,
        )
    target_user = forms.CharField(label='',
            widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'target', 'style':'width:724px'}),
            required=False,
        )

onlyWorkDailyRecord.html

<form method="post" action="." class="form-inline" id="save-form">
    {{ form.as_table }}
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-mini" id="workDailyRecord-add">작성</button>
</form>

I had trouble with passing form class into a generic, I was able to do it by overriding the get_context_data() function, in case anyone was looking for this as well.

An example from the mozilla documentation:

class BookListView(generic.ListView):
    model = Book

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        # Call the base implementation first to get the context
        context = super(BookListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        # Create any data and add it to the context
        context['some_data'] = 'This is just some data'
        return context

You would pass the form object into a key in the context dictionary.

Can find more information here.

In the class based views you need to mention the form_class:

form_class = WorkDailyRecordForm

A simple example:

class tView(TodayArchiveView):
    form_class = WorkDailyRecordForm
    template_name = 'onlyWorkDailyRecord.html'
    model = WorkDailyRecord

    def form_valid(self, form, **kwargs):
        instance = form.save(commit=True)
        return HttpResponse('Done')

    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(tView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)
