Hello, dear people.

With the help of a tutorial, I was able to create a template with form and use Forms.Modelform to save in the database, but I saw in the Django documentation that there is also Forms.Form. What’s the difference?

The difference is simple, the Modelform is used to create a Model form.

# Formulário que salva artigos no seu banco de dados.
class ArticleForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Artigo
        fields = ['pub_date', 'headline', 'content', 'reporter']

Already the Form is a common form that has no relation to your database (model).

# formulário de contato para enviar via e-mail
class ContatoForm(forms.Form):
    subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

0

Exactly as it was said above p Modelform connects your Model to the Database, already the Form makes the connection of the Model with the Interface, the Views and Templates.
