Hello!
well in the form is there anything that will be saved in a database?
if so you can start by looking at models.py in your application.
if not you can jump directly to forms.py.
an example of a model and form:
*** in models.py
from django.db import models
class Company(models.Model):
"""This is your database model with the fields you want to store and
fetch!
"""
name = models.CharField(max_length=60)
telephone = models.CharField(max_length=15, null=True, blank=True)
info = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
is_awesome = models.BooleanField(default=False)
*** in forms.py
from django import forms
from .models import Company
class CompanyForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Company
fields = '__all__'
widgets = {
'is_awesome': forms.HiddenInput(),
}
then when you have a form and model you can use the generic views like this:
*** in views.py
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views.generic import CreateView
from django.contrib.messages.views import SuccessMessageMixin
from .models import Company
from .forms import CompanyForm
class Add_Company(SuccessMessageMixin, CreateView):
template_name = 'company/add_a_new.html'
success_message = 'a new company was added!'
success_url = reverse_lazy('home')
form_class = CompanyForm
thats it!
