1. Is it possible to create an object in HTML/JS whose members will contain data from the fields?
You can't create an object in html/JS, but you can build your code up to display or request data from an object in Django.
Say for example, you have a model Foo
class Foo(models.Model):
GENDER = (
('F', 'Female'),
('M', 'Male'),
)
name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER)
And your template looks like this
<body>
<form action="?" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" maxlength="150" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gender</td>
<td>
<select name="gender">
<option value="F">Female</option>
<option value="M">Male</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
If you fill in the fields and click submit, then you can handle the data in your view.
def add_foo(request):
if request.method == "POST": # Check if the form is submitted
foo = Foo() # instantiate a new object Foo, don't forget you need to import it first
foo.name = request.POST['name']
foo.gender = request.POST['gender']
foo.save() # You need to save the object, for it to be stored in the database
#Now you can redirect to another page
return HttpResponseRedirect('/success/')
else: #The form wasn't submitted, show the template above
return render(request, 'path/to/template.html')
That last bit also answered question 2, i think. Hope this helps.
request.POST
