Creating new records

Creating new records is a regular requirement when putting business logic processes into practice. How you can build records for the hostel.room.category model is included in this tutorial. We’ll add a function to the hostel.room.category model to generate dummy categories for the purposes of our example. We will add the <form> view to activate this approach.
