Base form classes
-----------------

.. Note:

   Form is the glue that bind a context to a set of fields, and is rendered
   using a form renderer. No display is actually done here, though you'll find
   some attributes of form that are used to control the rendering process.

Besides the automagic form we'll see later, there are roughly two main
form classes in |cubicweb|:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.forms.FieldsForm
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.forms.EntityFieldsForm

As you have probably guessed, choosing between them is easy. Simply ask you the
question 'I am editing an entity or not?'. If the answer is yes, use
:class:`EntityFieldsForm`, else use :class:`FieldsForm`.

Actually there exists a third form class:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.forms.CompositeForm

but you'll use this one rarely.

    **Attributes**

    The following attributes may be either set on subclasses or given on
    form selection to customize the generated form:

    :attr:`needs_js`
      sequence of javascript files that should be added to handle this form
      (through :meth:`~cubicweb.web.request.Request.add_js`)

    :attr:`needs_css`
      sequence of css files that should be added to handle this form (through
      :meth:`~cubicweb.web.request.Request.add_css`)

    :attr:`domid`
      value for the "id" attribute of the <form> tag

    :attr:`action`
      value for the "action" attribute of the <form> tag

    :attr:`onsubmit`
      value for the "onsubmit" attribute of the <form> tag

    :attr:`cssclass`
      value for the "class" attribute of the <form> tag

    :attr:`cssstyle`
      value for the "style" attribute of the <form> tag

    :attr:`cwtarget`
      value for the "cubicweb:target" attribute of the <form> tag

    :attr:`redirect_path`
      relative to redirect to after submitting the form

    :attr:`copy_nav_params`
      flag telling if navigation parameters should be copied back in hidden
      inputs

    :attr:`form_buttons`
      sequence of form control (:class:`~cubicweb.web.formwidgets.Button`
      widgets instances)

    :attr:`form_renderer_id`
      identifier of the form renderer to use to render the form

    :attr:`fieldsets_in_order`
      sequence of fieldset names , to control order

    **Generic methods**

    .. automethod:: cubicweb.web.form.Form.field_by_name(name, role=None)
