django mongodbforms

This is an implementation of django's model forms for mongoengine documents.

Requirements

Usage

mongodbforms supports forms for normal documents and embedded documents.

Normal documents

To use mongodbforms with normal documents replace djangos forms with mongodbform forms.

from mongodbforms import DocumentForm

class BlogForm(DocumentForm)
    ...

Embedded documents

For embedded documents use EmbeddedDocumentForm. The Meta-object of the form has to be provided with an embedded field name. The embedded object is appended to this. The form constructor takes an additional argument: The document the embedded document gets added to.

# forms.py
from mongodbforms import EmbeddedDocumentForm

class MessageForm(EmbeddedDocumentForm):
    class Meta:
	    document = Message
	    embedded_field_name = 'messages'

	    fields = ['subject', 'sender', 'message',]

# views.py
form = MessageForm(parent_document=some_document, ...)
