Summary<\/strong>: in this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use the Django FormView<\/code> class to create a registration form for the Todo app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial begins where the Django LoginView tutorial<\/a> left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Django FormView<\/code> class allows you to create a view that displays a form. We’ll use the FormView<\/code> class to create a registration form for the Todo App<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a signup form #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create form.spy<\/code> file in the users<\/code> app and define the RegisterForm<\/code> class as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n

from<\/span> django import<\/span> forms\nfrom<\/span> django.contrib.auth.forms import<\/span> UserCreationForm\nfrom<\/span> django.contrib.auth.models import<\/span> User\n\n\nclass<\/span> RegisterForm<\/span>(UserCreationForm)<\/span>:<\/span>\n    email = forms.EmailField(max_length=254<\/span>)\n\n    class<\/span> Meta<\/span>:<\/span>\n        model = User\n        fields = ('username'<\/span>,  'email'<\/span>, 'password1'<\/span>, 'password2'<\/span>, )<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
The RegisterForm<\/code> uses the User<\/code> model and displays the username, email, password1, and password2 fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defining a RegisterView class #<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Define the RegisterView<\/code> class in views.py<\/code> of the users.py<\/code> app:<\/p>\n\n\n
from<\/span> django.urls import<\/span> reverse_lazy\nfrom<\/span> django.views.generic.edit import<\/span> FormView\nfrom<\/span> django.contrib.auth.forms import<\/span> UserCreationForm\nfrom<\/span> django.contrib.auth import<\/span> login \nfrom<\/span> django.contrib.auth.models import<\/span> User\nfrom<\/span> .forms import<\/span> RegisterForm\n\n\nclass<\/span> RegisterView<\/span>(FormView)<\/span>:<\/span>\n    template_name = 'users\/register.html'<\/span>\n    form_class = RegisterForm\n    redirect_authenticated_user = True<\/span>\n    success_url = reverse_lazy('tasks'<\/span>)\n    \n    def<\/span> form_valid<\/span>(self, form)<\/span>:<\/span>\n        user = form.save()\n        if<\/span> user:\n            login(self.request, user)\n        \n        return<\/span> super(RegisterView, self).form_valid(form)<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> Python<\/span> (<\/span>python<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
The RegisterView class inherits from the FormView class and has the following attributes and methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
