Step-by-Step Guide: Django Form Widgets Project

Step 1: Create a Django Project


Open your terminal and run:

django-admin startproject myformproject

cd myformproject

Step 2: Create a Django App


python manage.py startapp contactform

Then, add 'contactform' to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Step 3: Create the Form


In contactform/forms.py:

from django import forms

GENDER_CHOICES = [

('M', 'Male'),

('F', 'Female'),

('O', 'Other'),

class ContactForm(forms.Form):

name = forms.CharField(...)

email = forms.EmailField(...)

birth_date = forms.DateField(...)

gender = forms.ChoiceField(...)
message = forms.CharField(...)

Step 4: Create the View


In contactform/views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render

from .forms import ContactForm

def contact_view(request):

if request.method == 'POST':

form = ContactForm(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():

print(form.cleaned_data)

else:

form = ContactForm()

return render(request, 'contactform/contact.html', {'form': form})

Step 5: Create the Template


Create a folder: contactform/templates/contactform/

Inside contact.html:

<form method="post">

{% csrf_token %}

{{ form.as_p }}

<button type="submit">Send</button>

</form>

Step 6: Configure URLs


In contactform/urls.py:
from django.urls import path

from .views import contact_view

urlpatterns = [

path('', contact_view, name='contact'),

In myformproject/urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [

path('', include('contactform.urls')),

Step 7: Run the Server


python manage.py runserver

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser.
