Support for traditional request/response

[Alex-Sichkar]

Real-world example: I want to reuse Django's built-in views for login, password reset, etc., instead of defining custom views. To achieve the same styling - using Bootstrap, for example - I either need to render form fields individually or use django-crispy-forms. Is there an alternative way to achieve this that I might be missing?

Did you try to add the formset.views.FormViewMixin class to any of the views you already are using? This should handle all the parts of the view. You also might need to add the formset.utils.FormMixin class to the associated forms. An alternative to the latter is to render the form using the templatetag {% render_form … %}.

Do you mean something like this?

class MyLoginView(FormViewMixin, LoginView):
    template_name = "users/login.html"

    def get_success_url(self):
        return LoginView.get_success_url(self)

<django-formset endpoint="{{ request.path }}" csrf-token="{{ csrf_token }}">
    {% render_form form "bootstrap" %}
     <button type="button" class="btn btn-success mt-2" df-click="submit -> proceed">Login</button>
</django-formset>

This works, but the only inconvenience is that you need to redefine get_success_url. Thanks!
