Background
I ran into a really annoying problem here. I've decided to use Svlete as my frontend. Also, I have a lot of endpoints in my REST api that expect form data. In the past I would just forms.py in my app's directory and then add a form like:
class ProductsModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Product
fields = (
'name',
'weight',
)
class ProductForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField()
weight = forms.IntegerField()
And would then use
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
In the HTML template. All cool.
DRF + Frontend Framework
Obviously I still have the form in the forms.py but now I have to define the form in the fronend too. And with bigger forms it gets really annoying because I always have to compare that I have every field in my frontend form that I have defined in the django backend form. Is ther any solution to this?
