Hi all. I'm needing to learn how to tap into the clean data for
forms. I'm looking at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/
trying to figure things out.
By my understanding, raw data needs to be cleaned before insertion
into the database. I have a few questions:
1. what does cleaning actually do... prevent sql query injections?
Anything else?
2. I'm assuming, if I had a function as follows:
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = self.cleaned_data
return cleaned_data
That this would return a dictionary of the form in it's cleaned
state. Is this a correct assumption?
3. How would I call this when saving data? Lets say I have this in
my view which saves the data to the database:
mydata=Mydata(
description=request.POST.get('description',''),
sku = request.POST.get('sku',''),
mydata.save()
is it as simple as wrapping the request.POST.get... in clean()?
TIA
