How to simulate a HTTP Post request from a django view without a template

Question

I am writing views, not so keen to write templates right away.

But I need to test my program by submitting post requests.

How do i simulate HTTP Post from within

Answer 1

Django has a built in mock Client utility that can mimic requests as if they are coming from a browser. If you don't need to fully mimic a browser and just want to invoke your views directly from your tests, consider using a RequestFactory instead.
