✅

You can override CreateView().post() and UpdateView().post() methods like this

class CreatePost(CreateView):
    model = post
    fields = ['title', 'content']
    
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # Get your data from post request eg. request.POST['mykey']
        return redirect('success_page')

class UpdatePost(UpdateView):
    model = post
    fields = ['title', 'content']

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # Get your data from post request eg. request.POST['mykey']
        return redirect('success_page')

Note : You’ve created your post model class in lowercase which is not good practice always name a class in CapWords. Because you have written your class in lowercase python will treat your post class as a post method or it may lead to logical error.
