Create a way to individually customize the form for CreateView and UpdateView

Really cool your library. Is there any way to make it most customizable?

Individually customize the form for CreateView and UpdateView, individually customize success_url for CreateView, UpdateView, DeleteView or use django-table2 SingleTableView instead of ListView?

Thanks :)

Yes, you can achieve this in two different ways:

You can subclass a view and then register it to the viewset (I highly recommend this implementation):

from django.views.generic import UpdateView
from viewsets import ModelViewSet

class YourUpdateView(UpdateView):
    success_url = '/your/custom/url'

class YourViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.views['update_view']['view'] = YourUpdateView
        super(YourViewSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

---

Or by overriding keys of the views attribute in your __init__ method. The 'kwargs' key can be used to override some view attributes or methods.

from viewsets import ModelViewSet

class YourViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.views['update_view']['kwargs'] = {'success_url': '/your/custom/url'}
        super(YourViewSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

(I know, this is complex and implies a lot of code noise. That whole dict idea should be changed to an object-oriented approach.)
