Why unable to save image to db in django?

Question

I am new to Django and trying to save image to database i have written few lines code, which are not showing any error but are not able to save image to database.

View:-

def IndexView(request):
    print("index view..")
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print("post")
        form = ImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        print("form {}".format(form))
        if form.is_valid():
            print("valid..")
            form.save()

    form = ImageForm()
    return render(request, "index.html")

my template:-

<div class="container">
    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">
        {% csrf_token%}
        <hr><br><br>
        <input type="file" name="" id="" required/>
        <br><br>
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn danger" value="Upload">
    </form>
</div>

model:-

class MyImage(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to="myimage")
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, default="")

Hope to here from you soon Thanks in advance

The "name" attribute of the file input in your template must match the name of the image field on your ImageForm form. Currently it's empty — Iain Shelvington

<div class="container">
    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">
        {% csrf_token%}
        <hr><br><br>
        <input type="file" name="image" id="" required/>
        <br><br>
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn danger" value="Upload">
    </form>
</div>

def IndexView(request):
    print("index view..")
    if request.method == 'POST':
       image=request.FILES.get('image') 
       name=///give a nmae to your image
       x = MyImage.objects.create(image=image,name = name)
       x.save()
       return render(request, "index.html")

by this way you can see your image in the admin panel if you get any error assking for module install pillow just search google
