Django booleanfield modelform - django

Question

So I'm making a to-do list and I made a booleanfield modelform which has attribute "complete". I want that user to check it when it's complete and I tried wriring if task.complete == True cross out the item and it didn't work(it only worked when I checked it from the admin panel). Then I tried form.complete instead of task.complete and it doesn't do anything.
models:
class Task(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
complete = models.BooleanField(default=False)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
forms:
from .models import *
class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
title = forms.CharField(widget= forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Add new task...'}))
class Meta:
model = Task
fields = '__all__'
html:
<div class="main-container">
<form method="POST" action="/">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="submit"/>
{{ form.title }}
</form>
{% for task in tasks %}
{{ form.complete }}
{% if form.complete == True %}
<h1><strike>{{task.title}}</strike></h1>
{% else %}
<h1>{{task.title}}</h1>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
views:
def index(request):
tasks = Task.objects.order_by('-created')
form = TaskForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = TaskForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('/')
context = {
'tasks': tasks,
'form': form,
}
return render(request, 'to-do.html', context)

There are some problems with your code I don't know how to explain. Try this. It should work.
<div class="main-container">
<form method="POST" action="/"> # create new task
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.title }}
<input type="submit" name="new-task"/>
</form>
<form method="post"> # update task status
{% csrf_token %}
{% for task in tasks %}
{% if task.complete %}
<input type="checkbox" name="if_completed" checked value="{{ task.pk }}">
<h1><strike>{{task.title}}</strike></h1>
{% else %}
<input type="checkbox" name="if_completed" value="{{ task.pk }}">
<h1>{{task.title}}</h1>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" name="update-task"/>
</form>
</div>
view.py (Only for form, add your other code with it)
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.urls import reverse
def index(request):
tasks = Task.objects.order_by('-created')
form = TaskForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
if 'new-task' in request.POST:
form = TaskForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('home')) # replace home with url name where you want to redirect
elif 'update-task' in request.POST:
task_pk = request.POST.getlist("if_completed")
for i in task_pk:
Task.objects.filter(pk=i).update(complete=True) # I have replace pk with i here
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('home')) # replace home with url name where you want to redirect
context = {
'tasks': tasks,
'form': form,
}
return render(request, 'to-do.html', context)
in forms.py
class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Task
fields = ('title',)
widgets = {
'title': forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':'Add new task...'})
}
This should work. There may be be some error because of typos or indentation. Let me know if you get any issue

def index(request):
tasks = Task.objects.order_by('-created')
form = TaskForm()
context = {
'tasks': tasks,
'form': form,
}
if request.method == 'POST':
if 'new-task' in request.POST:
form = TaskForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
elif 'update-task' in request.POST:
task_pk = request.POST.getlist("if_completed")
for i in task_pk:
Task.objects.filter(pk=pk).update(complete=True)
return render(request, 'to-do.html', context)
