Django: If form doesn't have information set value to-CodePudding

If value in interval is not selected, i would like to use default one ( 1d )

    # if  i got post request
    if request.method == "POST":
        #  check if interval is choosen in form 
        if 'interval' in request.POST:
            interval= request.POST["interval"]
        else:
            interval = "1d"
        if "ticker" in request.POST:
            ticker= request.POST["ticker"]

enter image description here

the value of intervals is not check properly if is there enter image description here

CodePudding user response：

You set this default value in frontend. In your html:

<option selected="selected">
1d
</option>

I would argue that it is the better option.

You can of course check for empty string in the interval keyword

if request.POST["interval"] == "":
    interval = "1d"
