Django Unleashed

9.2.3 Creating Post Objects in a View with PostForm

Let’s use our view for creating Post objects to review what we learned in the last section.

Our PostCreate will implement get() to handle state one of Table 9.9, a reprint of our finite-state machine for views that create objects using Django forms. States 2 and 3 will be handled by the post() method.

Table 9.9: View States

As in TagCreate, we use class attributes to keep elements used in both views easily accessible in a single place, as shown in Example 9.25.
