I'm able to dynamically call one form related to the data I chose from the step ealier.
But when I'm in the done method I can see the my form_list is remaining unchanged.
here is what I did :
def get_form_list(request, form_list=None):
if form_list is None:
form_list = [ProviderForm, DummyForm, ConsummerForm, DummyForm, \
ServicesDescriptionForm]
return UserServiceWizard.as_view(form_list=form_list)(request)
class UserServiceWizard(SessionWizardView):
instance = None
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.form_list = kwargs.pop('form_list')
return super(UserServiceWizard, self).__init__(**kwargs)
def get_form_instance(self, step):
if self.instance is None:
self.instance = UserService()
return self.instance
def get_context_data(self, form, **kwargs):
data = self.get_cleaned_data_for_step(self.get_prev_step(
self.steps.current))
if self.steps.current == '1':
service_name = str(data['provider']).split('Service')[1]
form = class_for_name('th_' + service_name.lower() + '.forms',
service_name + 'ProviderForm')
self.form_list['1'] = form #here my form is correctly change I can see
elif self.steps.current == '3':
service_name = str(data['consummer']).split('Service')[1]
form = class_for_name('th_' + service_name.lower() + '.forms',
service_name + 'ConsummerForm')
self.form_list['3'] = form
context = super(UserServiceWizard, self).get_context_data(form=form,
**kwargs)
return context
def done(self, form_list, **kwargs):
print self.form_list #here form_list contains ProviderForm, DummyForm, ConsummerForm, DummyForm, ServicesDescriptionForm
at step 0 my form_list is ok :
{u'0': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.ProviderForm'>,
u'1': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.DummyForm'>,
u'2': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.ConsummerForm'>,
u'3': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.DummyForm'>,
u'4': <class 'django_th.forms.base.ServicesDescriptionForm'>}
at step 1 my form_list is ok : we can see the 2nd form is my expected one
{u'0': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.ProviderForm'>,
u'1': <class 'th_rss.forms.RssProviderForm'>,
u'2': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.ConsummerForm'>,
u'3': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.DummyForm'>,
u'4': <class 'django_th.forms.base.ServicesDescriptionForm'>}
at step 2 my form_list is ko ; same as step 0 : my 2nd form is return to DummyForm
{u'0': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.ProviderForm'>,
u'1': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.DummyForm'>,
u'2': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.ConsummerForm'>,
u'3': <class 'django_th.forms.wizard.DummyForm'>,
u'4': <class 'django_th.forms.base.ServicesDescriptionForm'>}
How can I do to change self.form_list and keep the change I did in get_context_data until the end of the wizard and not at each step ?
EDIT here is the complete code that works fine with the Rohan's suggestion :
def get_form(self, step=None, data=None, files=None):
"""
change the form instance dynamically from the data we entered
at the previous step
"""
if step is None:
step = self.steps.current
if step == '1':
# change the form
prev_data = self.get_cleaned_data_for_step('0')
service_name = str(prev_data['provider']).split('Service')[1]
class_name = 'th_' + service_name.lower() + '.forms'
form_name = service_name + 'ProviderForm'
form_class = class_for_name(class_name, form_name)
form = form_class(data)
elif step == '3':
# change the form
prev_data = self.get_cleaned_data_for_step('2')
service_name = str(prev_data['consummer']).split('Service')[1]
class_name = 'th_' + service_name.lower() + '.forms'
form_name = service_name + 'ConsummerForm'
form_class = class_for_name(class_name, form_name)
form = form_class(data)
else:
# get the default form
form = super(UserServiceWizard, self).get_form(step, data, files)
return form
def done(self, form_list, **kwargs):
"""

# get the datas from the form for TriggerService
i = 0

Instead of changing form list etc. in get_context_data(), I think more appropriate will be to implement get_form() method in your wizard view and return different form instance depending upon the step and previous data.
Something like this:
class UserServiceWizard(SessionWizardView):
instance = None
def get_form(self, step=None, data=None, files=None):
if step is None:
step = self.steps.current
prev_data = self.get_cleaned_data_for_step(self.get_prev_step(
self.steps.current))
if step == '1':
service_name = str(prev_data['provider']).split('Service')[1]
form_class = class_for_name('th_' + service_name.lower() + '.forms',
service_name + 'ProviderForm')
form = form_class(data)
elif step == '3':
service_name = str(prev_data['consummer']).split('Service')[1]
form_class = class_for_name('th_' + service_name.lower() + '.forms',
service_name + 'ConsummerForm')
form = form_class(data)
else:
form = super(UserServiceWizard, self).get_form(step, data, files)
return form
The trick here is do not change the length of form list (which you have done correctly), but just change form instance. Django has provided way to override get_form() method for this purpose. Django will honor this method and always use it to get the form instance for the method.
