Delete model instance button - django

Question

I have a for loop that lists all the testimony instances in my model. I'd like to have the button in the code below delete the related instance when clicked.
html
{% block content %}
{% for testimony in testimonies %}
<a href="{% url "main:update_testimony_view" slug=testimony.slug %}">
<h3>{{testimony.name}}</h3>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</a>
{% endfor %}
****
{% endblock content %}
views.py
def create_testimony_view(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = CreateTestimonyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
testimony = form.save(commit=False)
testimony.save()
return redirect('main:homepage_view')
else:
form = CreateTestimonyForm
context = {
"title": "Create - Testimony",
"form": form,
"testimonies": Testimony.objects.all(),
}
return render(request=request, template_name="main/create/create_testimony.html", context=context)
def update_testimony_view(request, slug):
instance = get_object_or_404(Testimony, slug=slug)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CreateTestimonyForm(
request.POST, request.FILES, instance=instance)
if form.is_valid():
testimony = form.save(commit=False)
testimony.save()
return redirect('main:homepage_view')
else:
form = CreateTestimonyForm(instance=instance)
context = {
"title": "Update - Testimony",
"form": form,
"instance": instance,
}
return render(request=request, template_name="main/create/create_testimony.html", context=context)
Thanks for any help

Answer 1

You need to make a POST request to the server which will delete the instance.
Please have a look at Form documentation. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/forms/

Answer 2

You need to add simple form and view to delete testimony.
html,
{% for testimony in testimonies %}
<a href="{% url "main:update_testimony_view" slug=testimony.slug %}">
<h3>{{testimony.name}}</h3>
<form action="{% url 'main:delete_testimony' testimony.pk %}" method="POST">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</form>
</a>
{% endfor %}
view,
def delete_testimony(request, pk):
deleted = False
try:
Testimony.objects.delete(pk=pk)
deleted = True
except Testimony.DoesNotExist:
pass
return JsonResponse({'deleted':deleted})
