Hi Everyone!
I am new to learning Django. I created a modelform and rendering it on browser to send data from front-end to back end but all I am seeing is just save button on browser not form’s input fields. Here is my code:
from django.db import models
class Reservation(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
days = models.IntegerField()
room_no = models.CharField(max_length=3)
comments = models.CharField(max_length=500)
from django import forms
from .models import Reservation
class ReservationForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
fields = "__all__"
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views import View
from django.http import HttpResponse
from .forms import Reservation
# Create your views here.
def Reservationview(request):
form = Reservation(request)
if request.method == "POST":
form = Reservation(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponse("Submission is successful")
return render(request, 'index.html', {'form': form})
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Hotel Reservation</title>
</head>
<body>
<form mathod="POST">
{% csrf_token %} {{form.as_p}}
<button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
First chunk of code: models
Second chunk of code: forms
Third chunk of code: views
fourth chunk of code: index.html
Anyone please who could help me in this. I shall be very thankful to you.
Welcome @shanAweb !
Side Note: When posting code here, enclose the code between lines of three
backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code,
then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code
properly formatted. (I have taken the liberty of correcting your original post.
Please remember to do this in the future.)

There are three things I see right away.
First:
You’re not identifying the model associated with your ReservationForm. You should have a model attribute defined in your Meta class within the form class definition. See the example at Creating forms from models | Django documentation | Django
Second:
You don’t pass the request in to the form class. See the example at Working with forms | Django documentation | Django
Third:
This should be “method”, not “mathod”
Thanks, sir, it’s my first post here on the forum, so I had no idea. Thank you for these guidelines and for editing the post.
I will correct all these mistakes and come back to mark the solution (given by you) for the problem. Thank you

I have corrected the above mistakes, still the issue is same
The name of the form that you are importing in your view:
is not the same as the name of the form class that you are showing here:
Thanks, sir. It’s solved with your guidance!
