What are some examples of forms in Django?

Django provides several built-in form classes. For example, you can use forms.Form for basic forms, or forms.ModelForm for forms tied to a model.

Can you show me a simple example of a ModelForm?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from django import forms
from .models import MyModel

class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ['field1', 'field2']

How do I validate a form in Django?

You can override the clean() method in your form class to add custom validation logic. For example:

def clean_field1(self):
    data = self.cleaned_data['field1']
    if not data.is_valid():
        raise forms.ValidationError('Invalid input!')
    return data

What about handling form submissions?

To handle form submissions, you typically check if the request method is POST, instantiate the form with the request data, and then validate it. If valid, you can save the form data.
