object has no attribute 'save' Django

Question

Don\'t know what to do with this error. How to add data in SQL from forms using post method?

models.py

class Lala(models.Model):
    PRIORITY_CHOICES         


        

Answer 1

Try using a ModelForm instead of a Form:

class Lala(models.Model):
    PRIORITY_CHOICES = ( 
        (0, '1'),
        (1, '2'),
        (2, '3'),
        (3, '4'),
     )
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    date = models.DateField()
    priority = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=PRIORITY_CHOICES)

In forms.py:

from django import forms

class LalaForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Lala

Then in the view your existing code should (pretty much) cover it:

def add (request):
    if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted...
        form = LalaForm(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST data
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()    # saves a new 'Lala' object to the DB
