Why we write this, form = StudentForm(request.POST) in django?

Question

This is my views function,

def studentcreate(request):
    reg = StudentForm()
    string = "Give Information"

    if request.method == "POST":
        reg = StudentForm(request.POST)
        string = "Not Currect Information"

        if reg.is_valid():
            reg.save()
            return render('http://localhost:8000/accounts/login/')

    context = {
        'form':reg,
        'string': string,
    }

    return render(request, 'student.html', context)

Here first we store form in reg variable then also we write reg = StudentForm(request.POST) why? acutally why we write this?

Answer 1

You could think of the "request.POST" as a parameter passed onto the form in the view. This tells the view that the form mentioned has POST data from the form in name.html. Otherwise it is just an empty form.
