What is form_class?

Can someone explain what form_class is? I don't think Kenneth went over it in the lesson. Thank you!

Hi Christopher 'form_class' is used in Django Class Based to depict the Form to be used in a class based view.

See example in the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/class-based-views/generic-editing/

Thank you Stuart. I think the class just jumped around a bit and I got confused. I will continue with the class based views tutorials and hope it will make more sense later.
