Preventing Form Re-submission

After a successful POST request, you should always return a redirect. This prevents the browser from prompting the user to resubmit the data if they refresh the page.

python
from django.shortcuts import redirect
 
def my_view(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Process form data here
        return redirect('success_url')
