Patch the old Form classes in web.py to create Bootstrap-compatible forms
Project description
# Effortless Bootstrap Web/Form Monkey Patch
Bootstrap your old web/form.py forms!
## Synopsis
Just because web.py hasn't been updated since 2012 doesn't mean you have to
settle for outdated HTML layouts. Scrap that 2001-era table-based form layout,
and use this module to create shiny, new Bootstrap 4-alpha forms!
Two ways to be happy:
1. Patch the old form classes.
2. Use our backwards-compatible form classes.
Either way, *you won't have to change a bit of your program logic.* It's a
just small change at the top of the program.
## How To Patch
To update your old webforms, just import and use the `patch()` function.
from effortless_bootstrap_web_form_monkey_patch import patch
patch()
Now you can continue to use your old web.py forms normally.
## How to Use Backwards-Compatible Classes
To use all-new but all-backwards-compatible classes, just import this package
instead of web.form.
import effortless_bootstrap_web_form_monkey_patch as form
Now you can continue to use your old web.py forms normally.
## Remember to Update Your Templates
Oh yeah, make sure you update the templates to use Bootstrap. The most
important piece to remember is to wrap all Bootstrap items with a `.container`
div.
<div class="container">
<form>
$:form.render()
</form>
</div>
And of course you need the CSS. If you don't want to host it locally, use their
CDN by adding this piece to the header.
