Base form classes
-----------------

.. Note:

   Form is the glue that bind a context to a set of fields, and is rendered
   using a form renderer. No display is actually done here, though you'll find
   some attributes of form that are used to control the rendering process.

Besides the automagic form we'll see later, there are roughly two main
form classes in |cubicweb|:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.forms.FieldsForm
.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.forms.EntityFieldsForm

As you have probably guessed, choosing between them is easy. Simply ask you the
question 'I am editing an entity or not?'. If the answer is yes, use
:class:`EntityFieldsForm`, else use :class:`FieldsForm`.

Actually there exists a third form class:

.. autoclass:: cubicweb.web.views.forms.CompositeForm

but you'll use this one rarely.
