        ![coverage: 100%](https://img.shields.io/badge/coverage-100%25-green.svg)
        
        A Django application that lets users create forms. This is achieved firstly setting up a form and form questions. The user is able to select the field type per question and thus create a form that supports various field types.
        
        ## What's in the box?
        The package contains the following:
        * Models to store forms, form questions and responses.
        * Views to create, edit, delete and submit forms.
        * Templates to render each of the views (can be overwritten with your own).
        * Ability to manage forms via the admin panel.
        * Endpoints to download questions and responses both directly via views and via the admin panel.
        
        ## Installation
        
        **PIP install and `settings.py`**
        The application can be installed by running the following command:
        ```
        pip install django-form-creator
        ```
        
        **Registering URLs**
        
        
        Once installed, add the following to your `settings.py` file:
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            ...
            "form_creator",
            ...
        ]
        ```
        
        Run `python manage.py migrate`
        
        In your root `urls.py` file, add the following:
        ```python
        from django.urls import path, include
        
        urlpatterns = [
            ...
            path('form-creator/', include('form_creator.urls')),
        ]
        ```
        *(Note: you don't need to call the path "form-creator/", rename this to whatever you want.)*
        
        This will add the following URLs to your root `urls.py` file:
        | URL                                              | Description                        |
        | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
        | forms/                                           | Forms list view                    |
        | forms/create/                                    | Form create view                   |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/                  | Form detail view                   |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/edit/             | Form edit view                     |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/delete/           | Form delete view                   |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/questions/edit/   | Form questions edit view           |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/response/         | Form for users to submit responses |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/export/questions/ | Export form questions as CSV       |
        | forms/\<int:pk\>-\<slug:slug\>/export/responses/ | Export form responses as CSV       |
        
        If you want to limit the available views, you can import each of the views directly. The views are located in `form_creator.views`. If you want more control over the views, you inherit from the views in `form_creator.views` and override the methods you want to change.
        
        This might be useful when overriding templates and defining permissions.
        
        ### Using out of the box templates
        The package comes with some templates to allows uses to manage and complete forms. If you wish to use these templates, you will need to download `django-crispy-forms` and update your `settings.py` file. Follow the instructions below:
        
        ```
        pip install django-crispy-forms
        ```
        
        In your `settings.py`:
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            ...
            "crispy_forms",
            "form_creator",
            ...
        ]
        
        CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = "bootstrap4"
        ```
        
        
        The included templates also make use of messages. Add the following to your `settings.py` file:
        
        ```python
        
        from django.contrib.messages import constants as messages
        
        MESSAGE_TAGS = {
            messages.DEBUG: "alert-secondary",
            messages.INFO: "alert-info",
            messages.SUCCESS: "alert-success",
            messages.WARNING: "alert-warning",
            messages.ERROR: "alert-danger",
        }
        ```
        
        ## Contributing
        If you would like to help develop this application here are a couple of things you can do:
        * Raise an issue/suggestion on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Salaah01/django-form-creator/issues).
        * Find an issue/suggestion on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Salaah01/django-form-creator/issues) that you would like to work on, fork the repository and start working on it! When you're ready, create a pull request on GitHub.
        
        ### Contributing to the code
        1. Fork the repository and clone it to your local machine.
        2. Create a new branch for your changes.
        3. Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies.
        ```bash
        python3 -m venv venv
        . venv/bin/activate
        pip install -r requirements.txt
        ```
        4. `example` contains a Django project for development. Move into that directory: `cd example`
        5. Run migrations: `python manage.py migrate`. As we are using an sqlite3 database, there is no need to create a database yourself.
        6. Create yourself a superuser: `python manage.py createsuperuser`.
        7. Run the development server: `python manage.py runserver`.
        8. Write some code, don't forget to write tests.
        9. Run the formatter/linter to format and lint your code:
        ```bash
        make format
        make lint
        ```
        10. Run tests - let's try to stick to 100% coverage.
        ```bash
        cd ..
        make test-coverage
        ```
        1.  Update the coverage on the [README.md](https://github.com/Salaah01/django-form-creator/blob/master/README.md) file: `make update_readme_cov`.
        2.  Commit your changes, push them to your repository and merge into master.
        3.  Create a pull request to merge into the remote repository.
