Django Forms: pass parameter to form

Question

How do I pass a parameter to my form?

    form = StylesForm(data_dict) # I also want to pass in site_id here.

class StylesForm(forms.Form):
             


        

Answer 1

someView()..
        form = StylesForm( 1, request.POST)

in forms.py

class StylesForm(forms.Form):
     #overwrite __init__
     def __init__(self,site_id,*args,**kwargs):
          # call standard __init__
          super().__init__(*args,**kwargs)
          #extend __init__
          self.fields['height'] =forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(       
                                                     attrs= {'size':site_id}))

     height = forms.CharField()

or

someView()..
            form = StylesForm(site_id = 1)

in forms.py

class StylesForm(forms.Form):
         #overwrite __init__
         def __init__(self,site_id):
              # call standard __init__
              super().__init__()
              #extend __init__
              self.fields['height'] =forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(       
                                                         attrs= {'size':site_id}))
    
         height = forms.CharField()
