object
When using CreateView you have access to self.object, which is the object being created. If the object hasn’t been created yet, the value will be None.
Example myapp/views.py:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | from django.views.generic.edit import CreateViewfrom myapp.models import Authorclass AuthorCreate(CreateView): model = Author fields = ['name'] |
Example myapp/author_form.html:
1 2 3 4 | <form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="Save" /></form> |
