""" Form generation utilities for App Engine's new ``ndb.Model`` class. The goal of ``model_form()`` is to provide a clean, explicit and predictable way to create forms based on ``ndb.Model`` classes. No malabarism or black magic should be necessary to generate a form for models, and to add custom non-model related fields: ``model_form()`` simply generates a form class that can be used as it is, or that can be extended directly or even be used to create other forms using ``model_form()``. Example usage: .. code-block:: python from google.appengine.ext import ndb from wtforms.ext.appengine.ndb import model_form # Define an example model and add a record. class Contact(ndb.Model): name = ndb.StringProperty(required=True) city = ndb.StringProperty() age = ndb.IntegerProperty(required=True) is_admin = ndb.BooleanProperty(default=False) new_entity = Contact(key_name='test', name='Test Name', age=17) new_entity.put() # Generate a form based on the model. ContactForm = model_form(Contact) # Get a form populated with entity data. entity = Contact.get_by_key_name('test') form = ContactForm(obj=entity) Properties from the model can be excluded from the generated form, or it can include just a set of properties. For example: .. code-block:: python # Generate a form based on the model, excluding 'city' and 'is_admin'. ContactForm = model_form(Contact, exclude=('city', 'is_admin')) # or... # Generate a form based on the model, only including 'name' and 'age'. ContactForm = model_form(Contact, only=('name', 'age')) The form can be generated setting field arguments: .. code-block:: python ContactForm = model_form(Contact, only=('name', 'age'), field_args={ 'name': { 'label': 'Full name', 'description': 'Your name', }, 'age': { 'label': 'Age', 'validators': [validators.NumberRange(min=14, max=99)], } }) The class returned by ``model_form()`` can be used as a base class for forms mixing non-model fields and/or other model forms. For example: .. code-block:: python # Generate a form based on the model. BaseContactForm = model_form(Contact) # Generate a form based on other model. ExtraContactForm = model_form(MyOtherModel) class ContactForm(BaseContactForm): # Add an extra, non-model related field. subscribe_to_news = f.BooleanField() # Add the other model form as a subform. extra = f.FormField(ExtraContactForm) The class returned by ``model_form()`` can also extend an existing form class: .. code-block:: python class BaseContactForm(Form): # Add an extra, non-model related field. subscribe_to_news = f.BooleanField() # Generate a form based on the model. ContactForm = model_form(Contact, base_class=BaseContactForm) """ from wtforms import Form, validators, fields as f from wtforms.compat import string_types from wtforms.ext.appengine.fields import GeoPtPropertyField, KeyPropertyField, StringListPropertyField, IntegerListPropertyField def get_TextField(kwargs): """ Returns a ``TextField``, applying the ``ndb.StringProperty`` length limit of 500 bytes.
