How do Django forms work with models?

Django forms are used to handle user input and can be directly linked to models. This allows for easy data validation and saving.

Can you show me an example of a form linked to a model?

Sure! Here's a simple example: If you have a model called Book, you can create a form like this:

from django import forms
from .models import Book

class BookForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Book
        fields = ['title', 'author', 'published_date']

What are the benefits of using ModelForms?

ModelForms automatically generate form fields based on your model, handle validation, and can save data directly to the database.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, while ModelForms are powerful, they may not cover complex validation scenarios or custom field types without additional coding.
