How do I use forms and templates in Django?

In Django, forms are used to handle user input, while templates are used to render HTML. You can create a form by defining a class that inherits from forms.Form.

Can you show me an example of a simple form?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from django import forms

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = forms.EmailField()
    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

How do I display this form in a template?

You can render the form in a template using the {{ form }} syntax. For example:

<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

What about form validation?

Django automatically validates forms when you call form.is_valid(). You can access errors using form.errors.
