def index(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = NoteForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()

    return render(request, 'notes.html')

Handling Form Submission (POST method)

• Checks if the current request method is POST. If it is, it means the user submitted a form;

• Creates a NoteForm instance with the data from the POST request (request.POST);

• Checks if the form is valid using form.is_valid(). If the form is valid, it saves the data to the database using form.save().
