Formsets

formset controls form layout in FieldsSchema.

Use it when you need groups, nested sections, titles, descriptions, or column widths.

Basic usage

from brilliance_admin import schema


class PaymentSchema(schema.FieldsSchema):
    id = schema.IntegerField(label='ID', read_only=True)
    amount = schema.IntegerField(label='Amount')
    endpoint = schema.StringField(label='Endpoint')

    fields = ['id', 'amount', 'endpoint']

    formset = schema.FormSet(
        fields=[
            'id',
            schema.FormSet(
                fields=['amount', 'endpoint'],
                col_span=6,
            ),
        ]
    )

FormSet

schema.FormSet(...) is a group node.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
fields	Required. List of fields or nested FormSet items
title	Group title
description	Group description
col_span	Width in the grid

FormField

schema.FormField(...) configures a single field inside a formset.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
title	Field slug
col_span	Width in the grid

Example:

formset = schema.FormSet(
    fields=[
        schema.FormField('amount', col_span=6),
        schema.FormField('endpoint', col_span=6),
    ]
)

Nested groups

FormSet can be nested.

formset = schema.FormSet(
    fields=[
        schema.FormSet(fields=['id', 'status']),
        schema.FormSet(
            title='Extra',
            description='Additional fields',
            fields=['description', 'notes'],
        ),
    ]
)

Validation rules

FieldsSchema validates formset.

• Every schema field must be present in formset.
• formset must not reference unknown fields.
• Missing fields raise ...formset is invalid: missing fields.
• Unknown fields raise ...formset is invalid: fields not found.

Notes

• Without formset, fields are rendered in default order from fields.
• formset affects layout only. Field validation still comes from field definitions.
• Inline schemas can also have their own formset.
