django refresh form db
Step 1: Import necessary modules and classes
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .models import YourModel
from .forms import YourForm
Step 2: Define a view function
def your_view(request):
Step 3: Check if the form is submitted
if request.method == 'POST':
Step 4: Populate the form with data from the database
form = YourForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('success_url')
else:
form = YourForm()
Step 5: Render the template with the form
return render(request, 'your_template.html', {'form': form})
Step 6: Create a URL pattern in your urls.py
to map to the view
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
path('your-url/', your_view, name='your_view_name'),
]
Step 7: Create a template (your_template.html
) to display the form
<form method="post" action="{% url 'your_view_name' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Step 8: Define the success URL in your views.py
success_url = 'your_success_url'
Step 9: Run migrations to update the database schema
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
Step 10: Include the app's URLs in your project's urls.py
from django.urls import include
urlpatterns = [
# other patterns
path('your-app/', include('your_app.urls')),
]
