Angular forms for django rest framework

This repo provides Django mixins and Angular library for rapid development of create/edit dialogs for django rest framework. It depends on Angular5 and Material UI.

On django side, extend your Viewset to use AngularFormMixin and optionally configure the mixin by providing either layout information or field defaults (such as css classes). See demos for details.

class CityViewSet(AngularFormMixin, viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    """
    API for cities
    """
    queryset = City.objects.all()
    serializer_class = CitySerializer

On angular side, use DjangoFormDialogService to display a dialog:

constructor(private dialog: DjangoFormDialogService) {
}
createCity() {
    this.dialog.open('/api/1.0/cities/').subscribe(result => {
        console.log('City created, result from server is:', result);
    });
}

You can also display the form inside your own component via <inpage-django-form> tag.

<inpage-django-form django_url="/api/1.0/cities/"
                    (submit)="submit($event)"
                    (cancel)="cancel($event)"></inpage-django-form>

Installation

Django side:

pip install django-angular-dynamic-forms

Angular side:

npm install --save django-angular-dynamic-forms @ng-dynamic-forms/core @ng-dynamic-forms/ui-material

To render forms, this library uses https://github.com/udos86/ng-dynamic-forms - do not forget to add it to your package.json.

and add DjangoFormModule to imports. You will need to provide your own ErrorService for showing communication errors back to the user. See the demo/angular/src/app/mat-error.service.ts for an example implementation.

import {DjangoFormModule, ErrorService} from 'django-angular-dynamic-forms';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        ...
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        DynamicFormsCoreModule.forRoot(),
        DynamicFormsMaterialUIModule,
        DjangoFormModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        ...
    ],
    providers: [
        {
            provide: ErrorService,
            useClass: MatErrorService
        },
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}
