PatchModelForm - A ModelForm subclass with the semantics of the PATCH HTTP method

Use this class to partially update one or more fields of a model. Only the fields that are bound to the form via the "data" parameter in the constructor get updated. All automatically generated fields have their "required" attribute set to False. Example 1: from django.contrib.auth.models import User class PatchUserForm(PatchModelForm): class Meta: model = User user = User.objects.get(username='old_username') form = PatchUserForm(data={'username':'new_username'}, instance=user) form.is_valid() form.save() Example 2: from django.contrib.auth.models import User class PatchUserForm(PatchModelForm): class Meta: model = User user = User.objects.get(pk=35) form = PatchUserForm(data={'last_name':'Smith', 'is_staff': True}, instance=user) form.is_valid() form.save()
