Django Widget not Loading

I using Django with widgets to get some user input but I can't seem to get it to display even thou the code seems almost identical to examples online.

forms.py

from django import forms

class PickerIDForm(forms.Form):
    pickeID = forms.NumberInput()

views.py

def get_id(request):
    template = loader.get_template('metrics/lance1.html')

    def get(self, request):
        form = PickerIDForm()
        return render(request, 'self.template', {'form': form})

    context ={
    }
    return HttpResponse(template.render(context,request))

urls.py

from django.urls import path

from . import views
from . import mark_views

app_name = 'metrics'

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),

    path('test/', views.get_id, name='get_id'),

]

test.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}

<p>User Input</p>

<form method = "post" >

    {% csrf_token %}
    {{form.as_p}}

    <button type="submit"> Submit </button>

</form>


{% endblock %}

I'm never directly calling the get function as defined in views.py that to me seems to be a possible source of the input fields not showing up when I load up test.html

At what point do you link the disparate parts together? Because it seems I'm missing something.

You have defined the widget instead of the field in your form.

To fix that replace pickeID = forms.NumberInput() with pickeID = forms.IntegerField()

And also write your view like this:

def get_id(request):
    form = PickerIDForm()
    return render(request, 'metrics/lance1.html', {'form': form})
