Wtforms, add a class to a form dynamically
WTForms does not allow you to set display options (such as class name) in the field initialization. However, there are several ways to get around this:
If all of your fields should include a class name as well as an ID then just pass in each field's
short_name
to it when you render it:<dl>{% for field in form %}<dt>{{field.label}}</dt><dd>{{field(class_=field.short_name)}}</dd>{% endfor %}</dl>
Create a custom widget mixin that provides the class name:
from wtforms.fields import StringFieldfrom wtforms.widgets import TextInputclass ClassedWidgetMixin(object): """Adds the field's name as a class when subclassed with any WTForms Field type. Has not been tested - may not work.""" def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(ClassedWidgetMixin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def __call__(self, field, **kwargs): c = kwargs.pop('class', '') or kwargs.pop('class_', '') kwargs['class'] = u'%s %s' % (field.short_name, c) return super(ClassedWidgetMixin, self).__call__(field, **kwargs)# An exampleclass ClassedTextInput(ClassedWidgetMixin, TextInput): passclass Company(Form): company_name = StringField('Company Name', widget=ClassedTextInput)
Use render_kw
if using WTForms >= 2.1 :
submit = SubmitField(u'Block Submit Buttom', render_kw={"class": "btn btn-primary btn-block"})
