Options

Option Type Description
action string URL to post to, will submit to self if empty
class string A space separated list of class names
enctype string How the form-data should be encoded (requires method = POST)
id string A unique identifier, if required
name string The name of the form
nonce string Random string used to prevent CSRF, adds a hidden nonce input after <form>
method string The HTTP method to be used to submit the form
data-* string Data attributes, eg: 'data-foo': 'bar'

Enctype

The enctype attribute will be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default, unless you’re using a method other than POST.

Example
{{ form.create() }}

<form method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="form">

Using PUT

If you specify 'method': 'PUT' then a hidden <input name="_method" value="PUT" /> will be created automatically after the <form> element, and the method attribute on the form element will be set to POST.

Example
{{
    form.create({
        'method': 'PUT'
    })
}}

<form method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="form">
<input name="_method" value="PUT" type="hidden" />

CSRF protection

Supply a nonce and it will be added as a hidden input after the opening <form> element.

Example
{{
    form.create({
        'nonce': 'D2A619A309DCE1BEF50F01F08EB764B42D9B36BF8128A8D303FD6DCF91E5FDD6'
    })
}}

<form method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="form">
<input name="nonce" value="D2A619A309DCE1BEF50F01F08EB764B42D9B36BF8128A8D303FD6DCF91E5FDD6" type="hidden" />
