Defining a forms.Form

Declare fields and their widgets.

Why Forms Exist

A Django form turns messy user input into clean Python data, handling rendering and validation in one tidy place. 📝

You declare a form by subclassing forms.Form. Each class attribute you add becomes a field on that form.

from django import forms

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField()
