Django and Alpine JS go great together. This package provides a set of template tags to easily work with Django formsets in frontend code using Alpine JS.
The simplest way you'll ever find to work with formsets in frontend code.
pip install django-alpine-formsetAdd to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'alpineformset',
...
]Finally include Alpine JS somewhere on your page. This package does not include Alpine JS,
however there is a convienence template tag alpine_js to load the latest 3.x-version from CDN.
All functionality is provided through two template tags, formset_x_data and emptyform.
New forms are added by incrementing the TOTAL_FORMS variable set in the x-data attribute.
Example:
{% load formset_tags %}
{% alpine_js %} {# Convenience tag to include Alpine JS #}
<div x-data="{% formset_x_data formset %}">
{{ formset.management_form }}
{% for form in formset %}
{{ form }}
{% endfor %}
{# Important: include this directly after the list of existing forms #}
{% emptyform %}
{{ formset.empty_form }}
{% endemptyform %}
<button type="button" x-on:click="TOTAL_FORMS++">Add Form</button>
</div>
