How to pass data from html template (using html form) to views.py python in django?

I am trying to get input from a html form to python views.py file in django. Below is my html and python code:

<form action="getsummary" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleFormControlTextarea1">Paste your text here</label> <textarea class="form-control" name="inputText" id="exampleFormControlTextarea1" rows="10" style="width:1000px; "></textarea> </div> </form> <div class="d-flex justify-content-center"> <div class="border d-flex justify-content-center" style="width:160px"> <a href="getsummary"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Summarize Now</button> </a> </div> </div>

def getsummary(request): if request.method == "POST": title = request.POST.get('inputText') print(title) return render(request, 'get-summary.html' ) 

I gave input text in my html form. My terminal was supposed to print that text but instead its printing Nothing.

[15/Feb/2022 12:20:33] "GET /summary HTTP/1.1" 200 2514 [15/Feb/2022 12:20:36] "GET /getsummary HTTP/1.1" 200 1961 

I also tried doing it with GET method. In that case, it is printing None.

Kindly help me with this. Same issue I am facing when I am using ajax to pass javascript variable to views.py python file.

Thank you.
