Dialogs¶

Dialogs offer more flexibility by allowing you to place them on screen when needed instead of having them pre-rendered in the page. Their contents are always fresh and theirHTML adapts to the task at hand. For example, when user makes a mistake entering data, the returned dialog will already contain all the warnings in the HTML.

To use, either add ?df_render_type=dialog to URL or add a X_DF_RENDER_TYPE=dialog HTTP header to request.

The default dialog templates allow for some customisation of dialog rendered.

Dialog classes¶

class MyViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    template_context = dict(url_reverse='my-item', dialog_classes='dialog-lg')

Good for specifying additional dialog classes, like how large the dialog should be.
