Please provide a way to modify the CSS classes of the form & elements

Hi @jonnyhoff.

CRUDView allows you to specify a form_class:

neapolitan/src/neapolitan/views.py

Line 85 in d80a4c7

form_class = None

... and if you need more control, provides both the get_form_class() and get_form() hooks that you can override:

neapolitan/src/neapolitan/views.py

Lines 156 to 177 in d80a4c7

	def get_form_class(self):
	"""
	Returns the form class to use in this view.
	"""
	if self.form_class is not None:
	return self.form_class
	if self.model is not None and self.fields is not None:
	return model_forms.modelform_factory(self.model, fields=self.fields)
	msg = (
	"'%s' must either define 'form_class' or both 'model' and "
	"'fields', or override 'get_form_class()'"
	)
	raise ImproperlyConfigured(msg % self.__class__.__name__)
	def get_form(self, data=None, files=None, **kwargs):
	"""
	Returns a form instance.
	"""
	cls = self.get_form_class()
	return cls(data=data, files=files, **kwargs)

Beyond that, you'd customise the form templates as normal.

Anything you're missing there?

Hi @carltongibson , Thanks for the prompt response.
Do you have examples of how to use the above or links to docs?

[carltongibson]

Not yet, but I'll use this ticket to track that. Thanks!

It's no different from what you'd do with Django's views if that helps. (See the docs I linked)

Also refs #8, which is about providing a Tailwind plugin to style the default Django form markup, in a similar way to the official prose Tailwind plugin.
