DecimalField validation error, returns incorrect value Django-CodePudding

Ive got a DecimalField in one of my forms where a user enters a price.

Say the user enters 11.00, now when i retrieve it as in (priceform.cleaned_data) it returns

Decimal('11.00')

so it looks like

price = Decimal('11.00')

which triggers a validation error when i try to insert it into the database.

I'm coming up blank to any solutions for this

models.py

class Bid(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=64, blank=True)
    date_time = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now, blank=True)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    user = models.CharField(max_length=64)

forms.py:

class BidForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Bid
        fields = ['price']

views.py:

if request.method == "POST":
      bidform = BidForm(request.POST)
      if bidform.is_valid():
            price = bidform.cleaned_data['price']
            bid = Bid.objects.create(title=title, price=bidform, user=username)
            bid.save()

CodePudding user response：

The price should be the price, not bidform:

if request.method == 'POST':
    bidform = BidForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
    if bidform.is_valid():
        bid = Bid.objects.create(
            title=title,
            price=bidform.cleaned_data['price'],
            user=username
        )

You can however let the form do the work:

if request.method == 'POST':
    bid = Bid(
        title=title,
        user=username
    )
    bidform = BidForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=bid)
    if bidform.is_valid():
        bid = bidform.save()
