        tri.form
        ==========
        
        tri.form is alternative forms library for Django. It is inspired by, and comes from a frustration with, the standard Django forms.
        
        Major features compared to Django forms:
        
        - Supports :code:`__` syntax for going across table boundaries, similar to how Django does with QuerySets.
        - Send in a callable that is late evaluated to determine if a field should be displayed (:code:`show`). This is very handy for showing a slightly different form to administrators for example.
        - Easy configuration without writing entire classes that are only used in one place anyway.
        
        
        Example
        -------
        
        You can either create a subclass of :code:`Form`...
        
        .. code:: python
        
            class UserForm(Form):
                name = Field.text()
                username = Field.text(is_valid=lambda form, field, parsed_data: parsed_data.startswith('demo_'))
                is_admin = Field.boolean(
                    show=lambda form, field: form.request.user.is_staff, # show only for staff
                    label_template='tweak_label_tag.html')
        
            def edit_user_view(request, username):
                form = UserForm(request=request)
        
                user = User.objects.get(username=username)
                if form.is_valid() and request.method == 'POST':
                    form.apply(user)
                    user.save()
                    return HttpRedirect('..')
        
                return render(
                    template_name='edit_user.html',
                    context_instance=RequestContext(request, {'form': form}))
        
        .. code:: html
        
            <!-- edit_user.html -->
            <form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
              <div>
                <table>
                  {{ form }}
                </table>
              </div>
              <input type="submit" value="Save" />
            </form>
        
        or just instantiate a :code:`Form` with a :code:`Field` list and use it directly:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def edit_user_view(request, username):
                form = Form(fields=[
                    Field.text(
                        name='name',
                        is_valid=lambda form, field, parsed_data: parsed_data.startswith('demo_')),
                    Field.text(name='username'),
                    Field.boolean(
                        name='is_admin',
                        show=lambda form, field: form.request.user.is_staff, # show only for staff
                        label_template='tweak_label_tag.html',)])
        
                # rest of view function...
        
        
        You can also generate forms from Django models automatically (but still change the behavior!). The above example
        is equivalent to:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def edit_user_view(request, username):
                form = Form.from_model(
                    request.POST,
                    User,
                    # the field 'name' is generated automatically and we are fine with the defaults
                    username__is_valid=lambda form, field, parsed_data: parsed_data.startswith('demo_'),
                    is_admin__label_template='tweak_label_tag.html',
                    is_admin__show=lambda form, field: form.request.user.is_staff) # show only for staff
        
                # rest of view function...
        
        or even better: use :code:`tri.form.views.create_or_edit_object`:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            def edit_user_view(request, username):
                return create_or_edit_object(
                    request,
                    model=User,
                    is_create=False,
                    instance=User.objects.get(username=username),
        
                    form__username__is_valid=lambda form, field, parsed_data: parsed_data.startswith('demo_'),
                    form__is_admin__label_template='tweak_label_tag.html',
                    form__is_admin__show=lambda form, field: form.request.user.is_staff) # show only for staff
                # no html template! tri.form has a nice default for you :P
        
        tri.form pre-packages sets of defaults for common field types as 'shortcuts'. Some examples include :code:`Field.boolean`,
        :code:`Field.integer` and :code:`Field.choice`. The full list of shortcuts can be found in the `API documentation for Field <api.html#tri.form.Field>`_.

        * Changed syntax for specifying html attributes and classes. They are now use
          the same way of addressing as other things, e.g.:
          Field.choice(attrs__foo="bar", attrs__class__baz=True) will yield something
