django-zooy 0.3.0

Django integration for Zooy UI framework with Carbon Design System widgets

django-zooy

Django form widgets for Carbon Design System and Zooy UI framework.

Installation

pip install django-zooy

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django_zooy',
]

Quick Start

from django import forms
from django_zooy import CarbonFormMixin
from django_zooy.carbon import CarbonTextInput, CarbonEmailInput

class ContactForm(CarbonFormMixin, forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(widget=CarbonTextInput())
    email = forms.EmailField(widget=CarbonEmailInput())

The CarbonFormMixin automatically injects field labels, help text, validation states, and required attributes into Carbon widgets.

Widgets

Carbon Design System

from django_zooy.carbon import (
    CarbonTextInput,      # <cds-text-input>
    CarbonEmailInput,     # <cds-text-input type="email">
    CarbonPasswordInput,  # <cds-password-input>
    CarbonURLInput,       # <cds-text-input type="url">
    CarbonTelInput,       # <cds-text-input type="tel">
    CarbonNumberInput,    # <cds-text-input type="number">
    CarbonSearchInput,    # <cds-text-input type="search">
    CarbonTextarea,       # <cds-textarea>
)

Widget Configuration

Python snake_case attributes are automatically converted to Carbon's kebab-case:

CarbonTextInput(attrs={
    'label': 'Username',
    'helper_text': 'Enter your username',
    'placeholder': 'johndoe',
    'invalid': False,
    'invalid_text': 'Username is required',
    'size': 'md',  # sm, md, lg
    'enable_counter': True,
    'max_count': 50,
})

Boolean attributes render without values:

• required=True → required
• disabled=True → disabled
• invalid=True → invalid

Form Mixins

CarbonFormMixin

Automatically configures Carbon widgets with form field metadata:

class MyForm(CarbonFormMixin, forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'email']
        widgets = {
            'username': CarbonTextInput(),
            'email': CarbonEmailInput(),
        }

Auto-injected attributes:

• label from field.label
• required from field.required
• helper-text from field.help_text
• disabled from field.disabled
• invalid and invalid-text from validation errors

Works with Form, ModelForm, and custom form classes. Only affects Carbon widgets.

ZooyFormMixin
