How to save data from a form in Craft? Explain with an example?

Question

where do you handle the POST requests? where do you write the validation rules and flash error messages? where do you write save to db code? (mainly i want to know how do you route a POST request to a controller and where do you write the controller?)

Answer 1

You'd do this wiht a Craft plugin or module.

Try giving the plugin docs a once over: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/extend and if you have some specific questions, feel free to post back.

You can also generate Craft plugin boilerplate code at https://pluginfactory.io that already has a lot of this setup for you.
