[Answer]-Clarification on the statement if request.Post: in django

by

✅

It should be

if request.method == 'POST'

This sentence is executed every time you access the url configured for this view. If the method of the request was POST, when the user presses the button, then the code inside if is executed and a HttpResponse is returned

In the example the line render(request, template) is only executed when the method was’nt POST (maybe GET, PUT, DELETE, etc).

Finally, you could use Django Login Decorator to avoid the session variables checking
