Best way to use Wtforms and MongoDB in Flask

Best way to use Wtforms and MongoDB in Flask

Hi,

what is the best way, how i can use Wtforms and MongoDB together with 
Flask.

For Wtforms i use flask-wtforms. Works perfect for my needs.

For MongoDB i use flask-pymongo, works also fine for my needs.

But, how can i bring it together? I tried flask-mongoengine, what has 
wtforms support. Sadly it is not well documented i think and there is no 
fun using it.

Is there a good and simple way to create ONE model for MongoDB and use 
it also as a form. Like in Django with Model and ModelForm.

I thought i found a way by creating a form with wtforms and add some 
methods to insert, update and delete but why i should reinvent the 
wheel, there are some good wheels ... but how can i put them together to 
a nice car? ;)

I hope you can read my bad english and can help me to solve this 
problem.

Regards, lynadge

You should try Flask-MongoAlchemy
You can find the example from the github :
https://github.com/cobrateam/flask-mongoalchemy/
Its about MongoAlcehmy and WTForm, And then you just need write class of
python to use MongoDB

If you still want to use pymongo , After that you will know how to push
pymongo and wtforms together~

Hey, thanks for your reply.

I think the way mongoAlchemy walks is not a DRY way. In the Example it 
looks like i touch the fields also two times. :/

Apparently PyMongo works with dictionaries.

Once you have a validated Form object from WTForms, its 'data' attribute 
is a dict. You can either pass it directly to (Flask-)PyMongo or use 
some_other_dict.update(my_form.data)

This is all well-documented API in WTForms:

http://packages.python.org/WTForms/forms.html#the-form-class

Hi,

for adding form content to mongodb it works perfect.

But when i try to make a edit form, it raise a TypeError. It is a 
similar problem like in this thread: 
http://groups.google.com/group/wtforms/browse_thread/thread/c5380381cdc8d304

The Problem lies in the DatetimeField. A spontaneous workaround is by 
using a TextField but i think, when there exist a DatetimeField why 
shouldn't i use it?..

Is there any approach for this scenario?

Ok, i solved this problem with a simple TextField. Not the best 
workaround but it works for me...

Now i have a problem with wtforms. In my form i have a BooleanField and 
i want to edit the Document/Object in my form. When i get the saved 
Document/Object from mongoDB the booleanfield is set to 'False'. So, if 
i put it in the form wtforms will set the BooleanField to 'True' but 
thats wrong and it should be 'False'. If i delete the one entry in 
MongoDB wtforms will set the BooleanField to false...but that is not the 
solution i want to...

Has Anyone an idea for this problem?

I will try it in the next few days. The idea looks very awesome and 
simple. :)

Hi lnadge, can you tell me your progress using WTForm with Flask + pyMongo?
I also use Flask + pyMongo and will use WTForm soon, so I need the advice.

Thank you.
