(Help Me !) How to extract name attribute of <input> element from instantiated form object inside views.py

[Mayur Bagul]

Hello Community,

I've been stuck to this problem from one week. I have read Django Doc. and i found little bit relevant to my problem.

Form.py 

from django import forms

class NameForm(forms.Form):

    city_name = forms.CharField(label='city name', max_length=100)

 

Views.py

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

from django.shortcuts import render

from .forms import NameForm

def get_name(request):

  

    if request.method == 'POST':

        

        form = NameForm(request.POST)

      

      # Here i wanted to extract value stored inside Text Box  How i can do that?

     #i wanted to extract city entered by user and store into another variable how to do it?

     # i wanted to use that variable to put it for filter 

                   info = Data.objects.filter(city__exact='city') 

                   

                   above line is for retrieving  record for entered city from database.

       return render(request, 'name.html', {'info': info}) 

    else:

        form = NameForm()

    return render(request, 'name.html', {'form': form})

Please help me with this guys !

i really need help on this because im not getting syntax for this on any resource.

Thanking you.

use this to access the city_name field value;

form.cleaned_data[“city_name”]

Use to a print statement to see for yourself.
