Django - how to fix - request.POST.get returns None?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I'm learning django and trying to get the user's vote from a detailview. The user chooses from radio buttons and clicks on a submit button.

The detailview's template's form's action is set to a formview url.

Inside the urls I have require_POST on the formview.

Inside the template and a for loop:

<input type="radio" name="choice" value="{{one.name}}">
<label for="{{one.name}}">{{one.name}}label><br>

Inside a form view:

def form_valid(self, form):
    request = HttpRequest()
    vote = request.POST.get('choice')
    return HttpResponse(vote)

When I submit the form I can see the choice param in firefox network under post method but the view returns None.

What am I doing wrong?
