WTForms-MoreFields

This is just a collection of useful fields that are not present in WTForms. For now, it only contains:

• FieldDict: used like FieldList, but takes a dict instead of a list.
• SelectObjectField: used like SelectField, but is able to display a list of objects.

Usage

from wtforms_morefields import FieldDict, SelectObjectField

class AForm(Form):
    attributes = FieldDict(StringField())

def aview():
    attributes = {'anattribute': 'avalue',
                  'anotherattribute': 'anothervalue'}
    resource = {'attributes': attributes}
    form = AForm(obj=resource)


class AnotherForm(Form):
    # `idprop` is the name of the unique identifier property of
    # the objects.
    # `labelprop` is the name of the property used to display the
    # objects in the select.
    myselect = SelectObjectField('Options', choices=a_list_of_objects,
                                 idprop='id', labelprop='name')

Notes

In FieldDict, the dict keys are used as labels for the generated fields. It suits my use case, but I'm not sure this is the best way to do it.
