Django: Get the form name or id from template

Question

If you have multiple forms

from django import forms

class NameForm(forms.Form):
    your_name = forms.CharField(label=\'Your name\', max_length=100)

class Sec         


        

Answer 1

If you use a unique prefix for each form, then the fields will all have unique ids.

form1 = NameForm(prefix='name') 
form2 = SecondNameForm(prefix='second_name') 

Answer 2

In your view, you can do form.__class__.__name__ but this doesn't work inside a template because django templates do not recognize variables that begin with __

The best thing to do in your case would be to simply create an extra context variable that identifies the form name

id="{{form_name}}_{{field.val}}"

Answer 3

If you are working with forms you can get the id from the templates

{{ form.instance.pk ]}
