Django unable to upload image file

I was trying out ImageField in the models, But Image upload do not work when I try to upload from the forms. But it works when I upload it from the admin page.

Any way to debug is also helpful

My model-

class Inventory(models.Model):
    """docstring for Inventory"""
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100,default='Something')
    image = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='Describe Something')
    price = models.IntegerField( default=0)

My Form-

class InventoryForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Inventory
        fields = ['name','description','price','image']

        widgets = {
            'name' : forms.TextInput(attrs={"placeholder":"Name", "onfocus":"this.value = '';","onblur":"if (this.value=='') this.value = this.defaultValue","required":""}),
            'description' : forms.TextInput(attrs={"placeholder":"Email", "onfocus":"this.value = '';","onblur":"if (this.value=='') this.value = this.defaultValue","required":""}),
            'price' : forms.NumberInput(attrs={"placeholder":"Price","onfocus":"this.value = '';","onblur":"if (this.value=='') this.value = this.defaultValue","required":""}),
            
        }

Settings -

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media/")

template -

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">  {% csrf_token %}
    {{form}}
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

url -

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include, re_path
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    path('',include('inventory.urls')),
    path('<int:id>',include('inventory.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

My Views-

def index(request):
    form = InventoryForm(request.POST or None)
    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        form = InventoryForm()
    else:
        form = InventoryForm()

    inventory = Inventory.objects.all()
    context = {'form' : form, 'all_inventory' : inventory}
    return render(request, 'inventory/index.html',context)

In your views.py. Change:

form = InventoryForm(request.POST or None)

to

form = InventoryForm(request.POST, request.FILES or None)

Because, Files in django post request are in request.FILES dictionary. You have to send that to forms as well.

How about adding upload_to in models in image field and add default image also this will come in handy later on or not your choice:

models.py

class Inventory(models.Model):
    """docstring for Inventory"""
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100,default='Something')
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='/your_file_name/',default='default.png')
    description = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='Describe Something')
    price = models.IntegerField(default=0)
