How do I create models and forms in Django?

To create models in Django, you define a class in your models.py file that inherits from models.Model. Each attribute of the class represents a database field.

Can you give me an example of a simple model?

Sure! Here's a simple model for a blog post:

from django.db import models

class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    content = models.TextField()
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

What about forms? How do I create a form for this model?

You can create a form by using Django's ModelForm. Here's an example:

from django import forms
from .models import Post

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = ['title', 'content']

How do I use this form in a view?

In your view, you can instantiate the form and render it in a template. Here's a basic example:

from django.shortcuts import render
from .forms import PostForm

def create_post(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = PostForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
    else:
        form = PostForm()
    return render(request, 'create_post.html', {'form': form})
