What is the preferred way to declare a form in django?

What is the preferred way to declare a form in django? And why 1 way verse the other way?



I've seen this:



class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
name = forms.CharField(label='My Name', help_text='My help text.')

class Meta:
model = MyModel
fields = ['name']


And I’ve seen this:



class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = MyModel
fields = ['name']
labels = {'name': 'My Name'}
help_texts= {'name': 'My help text'}
