Django Formset vs InlineFormset: What's the Difference?

What is the difference between a Django formset and an inline formset?

A Django formset is a layer of abstraction to manage multiple forms on a single page, while an inline formset is specifically for managing related objects in a parent-child relationship.

Can you give me an example of when to use an inline formset?

Sure! Use an inline formset when you have a model with a ForeignKey relationship, like a blog post with multiple comments.

Are there any advantages to using formsets?

Yes, formsets help in validating multiple forms at once, reducing code duplication, and improving user experience by allowing batch operations.

How do I implement a formset in Django?

You can implement a formset by importing formset_factory from django.forms, creating a formset class, and then rendering it in your template.
