Django Forms: if not valid, show form with error message

by

If you render the same view when the form is not valid then in template you can access the form errors using form.errors.

{% if form.errors %}
    {% for field in form %}
        {% for error in field.errors %}
            <div class="alert alert-danger">
                <strong>{{ error|escape }}</strong>
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    {% endfor %}
    {% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
        <div class="alert alert-danger">
            <strong>{{ error|escape }}</strong>
        </div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

An example:

def myView(request):
    form = myForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if form.is_valid():
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
    return render(request, 'my_template.html', {'form': form})
