Please guide me where to insert the is\_valid() in below views.py code. I want to enable the form validation in my code. I am not using this line ‘’‘{{form.as\_p}}’‘’ in my template.
Views.py:
```auto
def OwnerCreate(request):
if request.method == "POST":
newOwner = Owner()
newOwner.first_name = request.POST["firstNameField"]
newOwner.last_name = request.POST["lastNameField"]
newOwner.phone = request.POST["phoneNumField"]
newOwner.save()
return render(request, "owner_create_form.html")
```
I have attached the template.

Side note: Please do not post images of code or templates here. Copy/paste the text into the body of your post surrounded between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code (or template), then another line of ```.
(The lines of ``` must be lines on their own, then must not be part of other lines. Also, you must use the backtick - ` and not the apostrophe - '. I’ve fixed the code portion of your post for you for this.)

Then use a form.
Start with reviewing the page and the examples at [Working with forms | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/forms/).
Then read [Creating forms from models | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/forms/modelforms/) and [Form and field validation | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/forms/validation/)

I did some homework and following is the code. Please highlight any mistake or can be done in other better way.
```auto
views.py:
def OwnerCreate(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = OwnerCreateForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form = form.save()
messages.success(request, "Account created successfully")
return redirect("ownerlist")
else:
form = OwnerCreateForm()
return render(request, "form/owner_create_form.html", {"form":form})
urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name="home"),
path('ownerlist', views.OwnerList.as_view(), name="ownerlist"),
path('ownercreate', views.OwnerCreate, name="ownercreate"),
]
forms.py:
class OwnerCreateForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Owner
fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'phone')
Template: owner_create_form.html
models.py:
class Owner(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
phone = models.CharField(max_length=30)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return "ownerlist"
```

Almost perfect. Just two things I’d want to point out.
First, look at what’s going to happen if the test `form.is_valid()` is false. You have no `else` clause on that `if`, and there is no code at the level of the `if request.method` below _its_ `else`. This means the function would return `None`, which isn’t valid for a view. (It would throw an error.)
If you look again at the example view in the “Working with Forms” docs, you’ll see that the `return render(...)` statement is outside the bounds of the `if` statements so that it will be called in both of those conditions (When either `form.is_valid()` is False or when `request.method` is not ‘POST’.)
The other suggestion is that you adhere to the Python and Django coding conventions - function names are lowercase. Only class names are capitalized. This would make your function name `owner_create`, with the corresponding change in your urls.py file.

Noted. Thanks a lot Ken.
