Forms

As with views, Hordak provides a number of off-the-shelf forms. You may need to implement your own version of (or extend) these forms in order to provide customised functionality.

SimpleTransactionForm

class hordak.forms.SimpleTransactionForm(*args, **kwargs)

A simplified form for transferring an an amount from one account to another

This only allows the creation of transactions with two legs. This also uses Account.transfer_to().

See also

• hordak.models.Account.transfer_to().

TransactionForm

class hordak.forms.TransactionForm(data=None, files=None, auto_id='id_%s', prefix=None, initial=None, error_class=<class 'django.forms.utils.ErrorList'>, label_suffix=None, empty_permitted=False, instance=None, use_required_attribute=None, renderer=None)

A form for managing transactions with an arbitrary number of legs.

You will almost certainly need to combine this with LegFormSet in order to create & edit transactions.

Note

For simple transactions (with a single credit and single debit) you a probably better of using the SimpleTransactionForm. This significantly simplifies both the interface and implementation.
