Work with Forms

Description

In Django, {% csrf_token %} is a template tag used to include protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks in forms.

CSRF is an attack where an attacker attempts to perform malicious actions on behalf of an authenticated user using their authentication credentials. One security measure against such attacks is to include a unique token (CSRF token) in each form submission.

• redirect: It creates an HTTP redirect response to the specified URL;

• 'success_page': This is the URL to which the user will be redirected. The actual URL is usually defined in your Django project's urls.py file.

• request: This is the Django HttpRequest object representing the current request;

• request.POST: This is a dictionary-like object that contains all the data sent to the server via a POST request. In Django, it is used to access form data submitted by the user;

• .get('title'): This is a method to retrieve the value associated with the key 'title' from the POST data. If 'title' is not present in the POST data, it returns None;

• title: Finally, the obtained value is assigned to the variable title. Now, title contains the value submitted for the form field with the name 'title'.
