The function django.newforms.form_for_model() takes a model class and returns
|
||||
a Form that is tied to the model. This Form works just like any other Form,
|

with one additional method: create(). The create() method creates an instance

||||
with one additional method: save(). The save() method creates an instance
|
||||
of the model and returns that newly created instance. It saves the instance to

the database if create(save=True), which is default. If you pass
|
||||
create(save=False), then you'll get the object without saving it.
