Question: Using Autocomplete widget in FieldBlock

[bmihelac]

Hello everyone,

Is it supported to use Autocomplete widget in FieldBlock?

I have successfully created it but am not sure if is supported, recommended or best practice.

Code:

class CountryAutocomplete(Autocomplete):
    target_model = Country
    can_create = False
    is_single = False


class CountriesBlock(FieldBlock):
    def __init__(self, required=True, help_text=None, **kwargs):
        self.field = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
            Country.objects.all(), widget=CountryAutocomplete
        )
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

    def get_prep_value(self, value):
        if value is None:
            return None
        return [obj.pk for obj in value]


class VideoBlock(StructBlock):
    countries = CountriesBlock("countries")

If it is, maybe it would be good idea add example to documentation.
