Creating a Simple Form

1. 1. Define the Form Class: In your app’s forms.py file, define a form class that inherits from forms.Form:

      from django import forms
      
      class ContactForm(forms.Form):
          name = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
          email = forms.EmailField()
          message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
      

      • CharField: A basic text field.
      • EmailField: A field that validates email input.
      • Textarea: A widget for multi-line text input.
   2. Rendering the Form in a Template: In the view, pass the form to the template:

      from django.shortcuts import render
      from .forms import ContactForm
      
      def contact_view(request):
          form = ContactForm()
          return render(request, 'contact.html', {'form': form})
      

      In contact.html, render the form:

   <form method="POST">
       {% csrf_token %}
       {{ form.as_p }}
       <button type="submit">Send</button>
   </form>
