Hey dude,
Let's say you have some model with fields defined. It's called Business.
Looks something like this:
class Business(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
name = models.CharField("Business Name", max_length=NAME, blank=False)
You create a ModelForm like this:
class BusinessDetailsForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Business
In your view you have a method that captures the POST and saves it inside
the model:
def save_business_details(request):
if request.POST:
form = BusinessDetailsForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return
HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("your_app.views.some_view_when_submission_is_successful",
args=[]))
else:
here you pass back the form or whatever
return render_to_response(and render that whatever)
So, form.save() will save the details.
I hope that helps!
