Validate Required Fields by Hand
Reject empty or malformed input early.
Why Validate at All
Never trust raw input. Validation catches missing or junk data before it reaches your database or breaks your logic. 🛡️
Read the Field First
Pull each value with .get so an absent field gives None instead of crashing the view before you can check it.
