Django forms

Django forms — Is a collection of elements inside <form>...</form> that allow a visitor to do things like enter text, select options, manipulate objects or controls, and so on, and then send that information back to the server.

In the context of a Web application, ‘form’ might refer to that HTML <form>, or to the Django Form that produces it, or to the structured data returned when it is submitted, or to the end-to-end working collection of these parts.

Building a form

    <input id="your_name" type="text" name="your_name" value="{{ current_name }}">
    <input type="submit" value="OK">
</form>

from django import forms

class NameForm(forms.Form):
    your_name = forms.CharField(label='Your name', max_length=100)
