How do I use forms in Django?

To use forms in Django, you can start by creating a form class in your forms.py file. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

from django import forms

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

This creates a basic contact form with three fields.

How do I render this form in a template?

You can render the form in your template using the following code:

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

What about form validation?

Django automatically validates the form fields based on the rules you set in your form class. You can check if the form is valid in your view using form.is_valid().
