Diving into Django’s class-based forms and ran into a common problem with reverse(). As documented here the form takes three parameters – template name, form_class and success_url.
My first instinct was to do the following:
| class Form(FormView): | |
| template_name = 'template.html' | |
| form_class = FormClassName | |
| success_url = reverse('my_url_name') |
This blows up rather nicely. The solution is rather simple – reverse_lazy():
| class Form(FormView): | |
| template_name = 'template.html' | |
| form_class = FormClassName | |
| success_url = reverse_lazy('my_url_name') |
