django forms and models. What is the difference?

Question

Django

I want to understand whether the forms are related to databases, and if so, why do we need models? Sorry, just trying to figure out django. I didn't find the answer to my question in the documentation.

Answer 1

Models are connected to the database, they are needed to represent data in the database in the form of python objects.
Forms - in the general case, they are needed to receive and validate data from the user with which you then do what you need. A special case is ModelForm, which itself blinds a model object for you from the data received in the form.
The flow is:
User data -> Form -> Model -> DB

Answer 2

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/forms...
In the documentation, in principle, there are answers to many questions
Roughly speaking:
Model - your table in the database
Model-based form - Adding (+ validating) a row in the database
If you just started learning Django, start with their example of creating a site and a lot will fall into place: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/
