将HTML复选框中的前端数据传输到Forms.py/views.py/urls.py中的django

Question

I have a bunch of checkboxes on my HTML page and want to store whether a checkbox was ticked or not in backend django. My current HTML code is:

<input type="checkbox" name="activism" value="Yes">Activism & advocacy

I don't know how to modify my forms.py/urls.py/views.py to store whether a particular checkbox was ticked or not. Thank you very much.

There you are, it's not the best way to. Since you are new to django, this will work. Alongside you're learning, take the django documentation as guide

<form action='url' method='post'> {% csrf_token %}
   <input type="checkbox" name="activism" value="Yes">Activism & advocacy
   <input type='submit' value="submit" />
</form>

python view

def viewName(request):
   if request.method == 'POST':
      # You have access to data inside request.POST
      activism = request.POST.get('activism')
      if activism:
           pass # Activism is checked
