Django Formsets vs Inline Formsets: What's the Difference?

What are the main differences between Django formsets and inline formsets?

Django formsets allow you to manage multiple instances of a form on a single page, while inline formsets are specifically for managing related models in a parent-child relationship.

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

Sure! Use inline formsets when you have a model that has a ForeignKey relationship with another model, like a blog post and its comments.

Are there any limitations to using inline formsets?

Yes, inline formsets can be more complex to manage, especially with validation and saving data, compared to regular formsets.

How do I implement a formset in Django?

To implement a formset, you can use Django's formset_factory and create a view that handles the formset logic, including rendering and processing the forms.
