Django Form is_valid() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

I am trying to create a form(boqform) to post data into a model(boqmodel) but I am getting this

typeerror is_valid() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

I need to display a form called boqform on html template and post the data user entered into boqmodel

my view:

def boqmodel1(request):

    if boqform.is_valid():
        form = boqform(request.POST)
        obj=form.save(commit=False)
        obj.save()
        context = {'form': form}
        return render(request, 'create.html', context)
    else:
        context = {'error': 'The post has been successfully created. Please enter boq'}
        return render(request, 'create.html', context)

Traceback:

File "C:\Users\TRICON\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\exception.py" in inner
  34.             response = get_response(request)

You're trying to call the instance function is_valid() on the class boqform. You need to get an instance of boqform first. Switching lines 1 and 2 of the function should fix the issue:

def boqmodel1(request):
    form = boqform(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        obj=form.save(commit=False)
        obj.save()
        context = {'form': form}
        return render(request, 'create.html', context)
    else:
        context = {'error': 'The post has been successfully created. Please enter boq'}
        return render(request, 'create.html', context)
