Since I couldn't find an existing library that made this task easy, I had to come up with a workaround solution.
Handling Django form errors in a list format proved to be challenging when trying to transfer them from Django to JavaScript. To tackle this issue, I created a helpful function called convertErrorsToDict, which combines all errors per parameter into one concise error message:
views.py:
def convertErrorsToDict(errors):
# Transforming form errors from a list to a dictionary
errors2={}
for f in errors:
errors2[f]='.'.join(errors[f])
return (errors2)
def setPassword(request):
your_form=FormName();
context={}
errors=convertErrorsToDict(your_form.errors)
context['errors']=errors;
return render(request,'htmlFileName.html',context)
FileName.html:
{% load jsonify %}
<script type="text/javascript">
var errors={{errors|jsonify}};
</script>
FileName.js
Now, in the JS file, we can directly reference the errors variable.
console.log(errors.para1) //para1 represents the first parameter in the form (e.g., first_name)
console.log(errors.para2)
This functionality proves valuable when we require full control over the content of form errors.
