How to register views with config.add_view()

[Francis Addai]

Hello all, I am following the pyramid_deform tutorial over here https://pyramid_deform.readthedocs.org/en/latest/. I am really battling out with the FormViews usage to the app's UI.

Can anybody on here give me a crash course on how to use  config.add_view() or an alternative to register my views so that my forms can be rendered?

I guess I am not very clear on how to register views with config.add_view(). Code sample from my views module is shown below:

 

......... 

#@view_config(route_name='new_contact', renderer='shm_crm:templates/contacts/add.pt',)

class ContactEditView(FormView, Layouts):

    schema = ContactSchema()

    buttons = ('Add Contact',)

    form_options = (

        ('formid', 'contact-add-form'),

        ('method', 'POST')

    )

    

    def save_success(self, appstruct):

        context = self.request.context

        context.title = appstruct['firstname']

        

    def appstruct(self):

        pass

 

def includeme(config):

    config.add_view(

        ContactEditView,

        context=Contact,

        name='new_contact',

        permission='edit',

        renderer='shm_crm:templates/contacts/add.pt',

    )
