MongoDBForm error "ValueError:A document class must be provided"

Question

Hi i am creating a simple Sign Up form with django framework and mongodb. Following is my view:

class SignUpView(FormView):
    template_name='MnCApp/signup.html'
    form_class=EmployeeForm()
    succes_url='/success/'

Following is my model:

class Employee(Document):
    designation=StringField()
    department=StringField()
    emp_name=StringField(max_length=50)
    password=StringField(max_length=10)

Following is my forms.py

class EmployeeForm(DocumentForm):
    class meta:
        desigs=(
        ('D','Director'),
        ('GM','General Manager'),
        ('AM','Assistant Manager'),
        ('A','Associates')
            )
        deptts=(
            ('HR','Human Resources'),
            ('IT','IT Support'),
            ('TT','Technical Team'),
            ('SM','Sales and Marketting'),
            ('SS','Support Staff')
            )
        document=Employee
        fields='__all__'
        widgets={
             'designation':Select(choices=desigs),
             'department':Select(choices=deptts)
             }

Following is the traceback ValueError recieved on loading SignUpview Traceback:

File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\exception.py" in inner 39. response = get_response(request)

File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\mongodbforms\documents.py" in init 353. raise ValueError('A document class must be provided.')

Exception Type: ValueError at /signup/ Exception Value: A document class must be provided.

I am not able to find root of this problem. I am new to django and this is my first project. Also is their anyother way for creating model forms for mongo documents??

I suspect that your inner class should be called Meta, not meta.
