   For Lovers of class views, who want to customize to the core, import BaseViolationViewMixin

   i.e. from violation.viewmixins.violation import BaseViolationMixin

   Inherit the view class and supply other CreateView parameters other than form_class.

   Do something similar to this

   from violation.views.violation import BaseViolationView
   
   class ThreadViolationView(BaseViolationView):
       model = YourModelClass
    template_name = ''
   

   It's worth noting that BaseViolationView ancestors are BaseViolationMixin and CreateView

   FBV

   Function base view user can follow this code logic

   from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
   
   from violation.forms.violation import ViolationForm
   
   from .models import Thread # where this a an imaginary thread you want to report
   
   TEMPLATE_URL = 'apps/threads'
   
   def report_thread(request, pk):
       template_name = f'{TEMPLATE_URL}/report_thread.html'
       thread = get_object_or_404(Thread, pk=pk)
       form_kwargs = {
           'request': request,
           'object': thread,
       }
       if request.method == 'POST':
           form = ViolationForm(data=request.POST, **form_kwargs)
           if form.is_valid():
               form.save()
       else:
           form = ViolationForm(**form_kwargs)
       context = {
           'form': form,
           'thread': thread
       }
       return render(request, template_name, context=context)
   

Most importantly, it is worth noting that request and object keywords must be passed to form in your view.
