View field

Custom HTML inside the form — not dehydrated, fully yours.

Standalone

from almasix.orbit.forms import Form, ViewField

form = Form.make("demo").schema([
        ViewField.make("preview")
            .content("<strong class=\"or-badge\">Live preview</strong>")
])

In a Resource

from almasix.orbit import Resource
from almasix.orbit.forms import Form, ViewField

class PostResource(Resource):
    @classmethod
    def form(cls, form: Form) -> Form:
        return form.schema([
            ViewField.make("summary")
                .content(lambda state=None, record=None, **_: f"<p>{record.get('title')}</p>")
                .label("Summary"),
        ])

Key methods

• .content(str | callable) — HTML string (callable gets state + ctx)
• Not dehydrated by default
• .label(...) / .visible(...)
• Falls back to escaped state when content is unset

Closures work on .label(), .helper_text(), .placeholder(), .visible(), .disabled(), and .required() — see Form closures.
