addBooks() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

I want to take data from user and save it to database by using django. Have tried to solve it. But I am not able to solve this problem and didn't find any working solution on internet.

I am getting this error:- enter image description here

My views.py file is:-

from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse
from home.models import addBooks


def index(request):
return render(request, "index.html")

def checkBooks(request):
    return render(request, "checkBooks.html")

def contactUs(request):
    return render(request, "contactUs.html")

 def addBooks(request):

    name = request.POST.get('name', False)
    email = request.POST.get('email', False)
    bookName = request.POST.get('bookName', False)
    authorName = request.POST.get('authorName', False)
    desc = request.POST.get('desc', False)
    book = addBooks(name=name, email=email,bookName = bookName, authorName = authorName, desc = desc)
    book.save()

    return render(request, "addBooks.html")

And my models.py file is:-

from django.db import models

class addBooks(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=122)
    email = models.CharField(max_length=122)
    bookName = models.CharField(max_length=122)
    authorName = models.CharField(max_length = 122)
    desc = models.TextField()

This is addBooks.html(Here I am getting the data from user by using from):-

<form method="POST" action = "/addBooks">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <div class = "container">
        <h1 class = "text-center"> Add Books </h1>
        <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Your Name</label>
    <input type="text" name = "name" class="form-control">
    <div  class="form-text"></div>
  <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Email Address</label>
    <input type="email" name = "email" class="form-control">
    <div id="emailHelp" class="form-text">We'll never share your email with anyone else.</div>
  </div>
  <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Book Name</label>
    <input type="text" name = "bookName" class="form-control">
    <div class="form-text"></div>
  </div>
        <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Author Name</label>
    <input type="text" name = "authorName" class="form-control">
    <div  class="form-text"></div>
  </div>

        <div class="mb-3">
    <label class="form-label">Description Of The Book</label>
    <input type="text" name = "desc" class="form-control">
    <div  class="form-text"></div>
  </div>
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    </div>
    </div>
</form>

The issue is with your function name it is the same as the model name.

addBooks is your model name also your function name. both can't be the same

def addBooks_add(request):   #change function name

    name = request.POST.get('name', False)
    email = request.POST.get('email', False)
    bookName = request.POST.get('bookName', False)
    authorName = request.POST.get('authorName', False)
    desc = request.POST.get('desc', False)
    book = addBooks(name=name, email=email,bookName = bookName, authorName = authorName, desc = desc)
    book.save()

    return render(request, "addBooks.html")

or try this

from home.models import addBooks as addBooksCreate 

def addBooks(request):

    name = request.POST.get('name', False)
    email = request.POST.get('email', False)
    bookName = request.POST.get('bookName', False)
    authorName = request.POST.get('authorName', False)
    desc = request.POST.get('desc', False)
    book = addBooksCreate(name=name, email=email,bookName = bookName, authorName = authorName, desc = desc)
    book.save()

In addBooks function, you are taking value of name in the wrong way You have to try this

name = request.POST['name']

And Do this for all input fields.
