Django is a free and open-source web application framework written in Python. It is used for rapid web development and clean, pragmatic design. It is built by experienced developers to make repetitive tasks easier, so you can focus on writing apps instead of reinventing the wheel. This course teaches Django for beginning and intermediate level learners. The course includes a hands-on learning experience with the help of interactive widgets. At the end of the course, you will have created a project in Django that can be used in your portfolio.

Django: Python Web Development Unleashed

## Render the `searchform` in a view

In this lesson, we are going to render our `searchform` in a view, and then have that view rendered in a template. 

> **NOTE:** In this lesson, we will get the code that we used in the [Using Static Files in Django](https://www.educative.io/courses/django-python-web-development/using-static-files-in-django) lesson and build upon it.

### Step 1:  Make a view for a form

In this step, we are going to define a view called `forms`. See the following lines:

```
from .forms import SearchForm

def forms(request):
    form = SearchForm()
    return render(request,'first_app/forms.html', {'form': form})
```

Let's breakdown what we did here.

- We first imported our `SearchForm` from the `.forms` file. 

- Since `SearchForm` is a class, we have to instantiate it and put it in `form`. 

- `first_app/forms.html` is the template in which we will render our `form`. 

Let's create the `first_app/forms.html` template next.

### Step 2: Make a template to render the form

In this step, we create a file `forms.html` inside of the `first_app` directory, and then we put the following lines:

```
<form method="GET" action="https://google.com ">
    {{form}}
    <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
``` 

In the snippet given above, we are simply rendering our `form` inside the `<form>` tag, and adding a `submit` button to take us to *google.com*.

And that's it. This code will render our form.

### Step 3: Make a URL for that form

In `first_app/urls.py` file we will add the following line:

```
path('forms/',views.forms,name="form"),
```

### Step 4: Run the code

In this step, we just need to run the code to see it work.

> **NOTE:** We have configured the environment below to take you to the `/forms/` page when **RUN** is pressed.
>
> Also, feel free to add more fields in the `forms.py` file to see how they work.
