How do I use generic views with forms in Django?

You can use Django's generic views to handle forms by utilizing the FormView class. This allows you to create a view that handles form display and processing.

Can you show me a simple example of a FormView?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
from .forms import MyForm

class MyFormView(FormView):
    template_name = 'my_template.html'
    form_class = MyForm
    success_url = '/success/'

    def form_valid(self, form):
        # Process the form data
        return super().form_valid(form)

What if I want to customize the form validation?

You can override the form_valid method in your FormView to add custom validation logic before calling the parent method.

Is it possible to use multiple forms in a single view?

MagicBuddy

Yes, you can use multiple forms by creating a custom view that handles each form separately, or by using FormMixin to combine them.
