3 Fundamental steps to build a Sign-Up Form with Python
For accessing any web application by users, a Sign-up page is inevitable. So it is essential to create an excellent sign-up form for storing the user information.
It’s an entry gate to access any website or app by registering user information. Here we are going to see how we can build a simple sign-up form using Python in 3 steps.
1. Collecting User Inputs
Initially, we are going to get input from the users. Any information or data sent to a system for processing is considered input. Here we will get Username, Mail-Id, and Phone number as inputs from the users.
2. Storing User Information in Dictionary
Once we get the user information, we need to store it somewhere. We use Dictionary to achieve this. It is nothing but a data structure where we can keep a collection of data in a key: value pair, represented by curly braces { }.
Data are stored inside the curly braces separated by commas. Here we can see how can we store the given input data in a dictionary.
Here ‘mail-id’ in the red indication is the key, and the value is on the right side after the colon. We can access data from the dictionary by using the key.
All user information is now stored in the ‘user1’ dictionary. If we run ‘user1’, all the user information is displayed in the output.
3. Adding multiple users in a List:
For storing many users’ information, we can use List, which is represented by a square bracket [].
For example, in the same procedure as user1, we can collect user2 details and store both user1 and user2 in the List.
This article is only to understand that how can we start building concept of Sign Up form. Yet, there are more things such as validating and storing user information in database are critical. I will write about it in upcoming articles.
However, I hope this article will help beginners understand some basics of building a sign-up form and storing user information.
Cheers!
