Creating a dynamic choice field Ask Question

I'm having some trouble trying to understand how to create a dynamic choice field in django. I have a model set up something like:

class rider(models.Model):
     user = models.ForeignKey(User)
     waypoint = models.ManyToManyField(Waypoint)

class Waypoint(models.Model):
     lat = models.FloatField()
     lng = models.FloatField()

What I'm trying to do is create a choice Field whos values are the waypoints associated with that rider (which would be the person logged in).

Currently I'm overriding init in my forms like so:

class waypointForm(forms.Form):
     def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
          super(joinTripForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
          self.fields['waypoints'] = forms.ChoiceField(choices=[ (o.id, str(o)) for o in Waypoint.objects.all()])

But all that does is list all the waypoints, they're not associated with any particular rider. Any ideas? Thanks.

you can filter the waypoints by passing the user to the form init

class waypointForm(forms.Form):
    def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
        super(waypointForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['waypoints'] = forms.ChoiceField(
            choices=[(o.id, str(o)) for o in Waypoint.objects.filter(user=user)]
        )

from your view while initiating the form pass the user

form = waypointForm(user)

in case of model form

class waypointForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
        super(waypointForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['waypoints'] = forms.ModelChoiceField(
            queryset=Waypoint.objects.filter(user=user)
        )

    class Meta:
        model = Waypoint
