How do I handle redirects after form submission in Django?

In Django, you can handle redirects after form submission by using the HttpResponseRedirect class. After processing the form, you can redirect the user to another page.

Can you show me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! After validating your form, you can do something like this:

if form.is_valid():
    form.save()
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/success/')

This will redirect the user to the '/success/' URL after the form is successfully submitted.

What if I want to pass some data to the redirected page?

You can use Django's reverse function to create a URL with query parameters. For example:

from django.urls import reverse

if form.is_valid():
    form.save()
    return HttpResponseRedirect(f'{reverse('success')}?data=value')

Thanks! Is there a way to show a success message on the redirected page?

Yes! You can use Django's messages framework. After redirecting, you can add a success message like this:

from django.contrib import messages

messages.success(request, 'Form submitted successfully!')
