Populate a django form with data from database in view

Question

I have a form in my forms.py that looks like this:

from django import forms

class ItemList(forms.Form):
     item_list = forms.ChoiceField()

Answer 1

What you need to do is to find out which object do you actually want for e.g. if you want to find out a book named "Upvote-if-u-like!" then your urls.py should like

urlpatterns = [
path('textshare/',views.extract,name="textshare"),]

now when someone will search for mybook.com/textshare/upvote-if-u-like!/

it will take him/her to views.py which would look like

def extract(request,slug):
    context={}

    obj=bookForm.objects.get(title=slug)
    form=bookModelForm(instance=obj)

    context={'form':form}
    return render(request,'bookfound.html',context)

where bookForm is in Models.py and bookModelForm is in forms.py Happy Djangoing:)
