Pre-populate HTML form table from database using Django

Question

I have a class-based view (IndexView at views.py) that shows a table with all the data stored in the database. This view is rendered in index.html<

Answer 1

There are multiple ways of loading data into forms, as far as I know:

• In views.py

You are using FormView CBV which has a func called get_intial:

    def get_initial(self):
        initial = super().get_initial()
        initial[''] = 
        return initial

• In forms.py

You can override the init func:

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields[''].initial =
