python - django form.as_p doesnt render the form -

so here's form :

class secretnoteform(forms.form):     note = forms.textarea() 

here's view :

def index(request):     if request.method == 'post':         pass     else:         form = secretnoteform()      return render(request, "notes/index.html", {"form" : form}) 

and html :

{% block content %} <form method="post">{% csrf_token %}     {{ form.as_p }}     <input type="submit" value="create"> </form> {% endblock %} 

when go url shows me create button no form fields. doing wrong here ? can't seem figure out..

the correct way make textarea widget:

note = forms.charfield(widget=forms.textarea) 

here more documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/

and include attributes that:

note = forms.charfield(widget=forms.textarea(attrs={'rows': 16,'cols': 25}))
