Implementing a search
Implement def home in /movie/views.py with the following (remove the old def home function and paste the next one):
def home(request):
searchTerm = request.GET.get('searchMovie')
if searchTerm:
movies =
Movie.objects.filter(title__icontains=searchTerm)
else:
movies = Movie.objects.all()
return render(request, 'home.html',
{'searchTerm':searchTerm, 'movies': movies})
Let's see what's happening in the code. We retrieve the search term entered (if any) from the searchMovie input:
searchTerm = request.GET.get('searchMovie')
If a search term is entered, we call the model's filter method...
