Discussion on: Form submission

One of the easiest ways to create a form is like this:

models.py

from django.db import models

class Contact(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField()
    message = models.CharField(max_length=999)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

forms.py

from django.forms import ModelForm

class ContactForm(ModelForm):
    required_css_class = "required"

    class Meta:
        model = Contact
        fields = "__all__"

views.py

from .models import Contact

def contactView(request):
    submitted = False
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = ContactForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect("?submitted=True")
    else:
        form = ContactForm()
        if "submitted" in request.GET:
            submitted = True

    return render(
        request,
        "contact.html",
        {"form": form, "page_list": Contact.objects.filter(), "submitted": submitted},
    )
