Django - how to submit a form from a ListView

Question

I am trying to pass a form to a ListView in django to create a new object

Is there any way to do that? (I know how to do that using def in stead of class)

Im using django 2.0 , python 3.4

This is the ListView:

class CustomerListView(ListView):
    template_name = 'customers/table_customers.html'
    context_object_name = 'items'

    def get_queryset(self):
        return Customer.objects.all()

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(CustomerListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['form'] = CustomerForm
        return context

I can see the form in the page but when i hit "submit" i get a 405 response from the server: "Method Not Allowed (POST): /customers/customer/".

Here is the form:

class CustomerForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Customer
        fields = ['customer_name',
                'start_date', 
                'end_date',
                'team', 
                'status',
                'notes',  
                ]

@ChuckLaPress this solution seemed to work (i don't get the error anymore) but the new customer isn't created — Sagi Avisar, Mar 24 '19 at 13:36
Can you show your CustomerForm ? and the html you are rendering the view to — Chuck LaPress, Mar 24 '19 at 16:24
You should use [CreateView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/class-based-views/generic-editing/#createview) — zeynel, Mar 26 '19 at 09:20
Great, now follow this example to have your form get save: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22739701/django-save-modelform — Chuck LaPress, Mar 26 '19 at 12:19
