You still need to call result.is_valid() since it actually runs actual
validation rules.
Very basic form processing is usually done like this:
so in case of GET you return empty form. in case of invalid POST you return
form with values and error messages.
After successful POST you do redirect-after-post to avoid problems with
browser history back-button.
def form_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/some/result/form")
else:
form = MyForm()
return HttpResponse("form/form.html", { 'form': form })
