Django How to submit and handle form data in class based views

Can anybody tell me how to handle form submit and fields using class based views. Here is my views.py 

class ProfileView(FormView):
    template_name='profile.html'
    form_class = UnregisterMealForm
    context={}
    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def form_valid(self, form):

        return HttpResponse("You have succesfully unregistered for the meal")
    def form_invalid(self, form):
        return self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(form=form))

    def dispatch(self,*args, **kwargs ):

        if self.request.user.is_active:

            context = super(ProfileView, self).dispatch( self.request, *args, **kwargs)

            return context                
        else:        
            return HttpResponseRedirect('%s?next=%s' % (settings.LOGIN_URL, self.request.path))
    def get_context_data( self, **kwargs):
            form=UnregisterMealForm(self.request.POST)
            meals = ['breakfast','lunch','dinner']
            context = {'meals' : meals , 'unregisterform': form}

            if form.is_valid():
                select_date = request.POST['select_date']
                select_meal = request.POST['meal']
                context['recent'] = "You have succesfully unregistered    for "+ select_meal +" on " + select_date 

        return context

When I submit the form, it shows an error Attribute Error 'UnregisterMealForm' object has no attribute 'user'

Here is my UnregisterMealForm

class UnregisterMealForm(forms.Form):
    MEALS = [('breakfast','breakfast'),('lunch','lunch'), ('dinner','dinner')]
    select_date = forms.DateField(widget=DateInput())
    meal = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Select(choices=MEALS, attrs={'class':'form-control', 'placehoder':'Choose the Meal' }))

Can anybody help me with this. If you need more information please tell me.

Thanks in advance. I m a novice in django.

You can save object in your form_valid method:

def form_valid(self, form):
    model = YourModel()
    model.select_date = form.cleaned_data['select_date']
    model.select_meal = form.cleaned_data['meal']
    model.save()
    messages.success(request, "Your message here")
