I might do it wrong -- How to get and process an object from FormView ?

[Dino]

The form submission and processing as I've done it works, 

but I'm not sure its the right way.

The part I'm concerned about is detailed in these 3 steps:

- I save the form with the data submitted -- form.save()

- then I check request.POST for the name of a (unique) field submitted

- then I query the database for the object with the field specified in request.POST,  to process it further.

Can't I access the object easier ?  ( either before or after saving the form)

class FormViewCustom(FormView):

    form_class = SomeForm

    success_url = reverse_lazy("index")

    template_name = "index.html"

    def form_valid(self, form):

        form.save(commit=True)

        .......................................

        request_field = self.request.POST['fieldx']

        retrieve_model = MyModel.objects.filter(fieldx = request_field).get()

        #and now process the object before returning

Form.save returns object. You don't need tricking with post directly.
