Hello, dear.
With the help of a tutorial, I was able to create a template with form and use the forms.ModelForm to save in the database, however, I saw in the Django documentation that there is also the forms.Form. What's the difference?
Django1.9 framework Python3.4
The difference is simple, ModelForm serves to create the form of a Model.
# Formulário que salva artigos no seu banco de dados.
class ArticleForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Artigo
fields = ['pub_date', 'headline', 'content', 'reporter']
Form is a common form that is unrelated to your database (model ).
# formulário de contato para enviar via e-mail
class ContatoForm(forms.Form):
subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
Exactly as stated above ModelForm connects your Model to the Database, Form already connects the Model with the Interface, Views and Templates.
