Django表单，指定Model

Question

I have the following form:

class NotesForm(forms.Form):
    text = forms.CharField(widget = forms.Textarea) 

With the following views.py:

if request.POST:
        form = ThisForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            newentry = form.save()
            HttpResponseRedirect('/')

And the folowing models.py

class TheModel(models.Model):
    text = models.TextField()

The thing is that it gives me 'ThisForm' object has no attribute 'save' which it is most likely because I have not linked any model to it.

How can I link a model to the form in order to be able to form.save() to the database?

Answer 1

I'm thinking you are wanting a forms.ModelForm instead of forms.Form :

class ThisForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = TheModel
        fields = ['text']

Then your view should be able to form.save() . See here for the official documentation.
