Django: Instantiating a form in a custom class based view

Question

This is my first post, and I am new to Django so go easy on me!

I am trying to convert my function based views into class based views so I can reuse the views easily in other apps, and am struggling with instantiating a form inside the class.

I have the following function based view:

def object_create(request):

    def get_date():
        today = datetime.datetime.now()
        enquiry_date = today.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
        return enquiry_date

    initial_dict = {
            "account_handler" : request.user,
            "prep_location" : request.user.profile.location,
            "load_location":   request.user.profile.location,
            "return_location": request.user.profile.location,
            "status":"Enquiry",
            "enquiry_date": get_date()
        }
    
    object_form = QuoteForm(request.POST or None, initial = initial_dict)

    context = {
            'form': object_form,
        }

    if request.method == 'GET':

        return render(request, "rental_quotes/form.html", context )

        # If we are saving the form
    if request.method == 'POST':
        
        if object_form.is_valid():
            new_object = object_form.save()
            context = {
                'object': new_object
            }
            found_count = Quote.objects.all().count()
            request.session['rental_quotes_current_index'] = (found_count-1)
            request.session['rental_quotes_found_count'] = found_count
            new_page = json.dumps({
            'url': reverse("rental_quotes-detail", args=[new_object.id]),
            'index': found_count-1,
            'found_count': found_count,
            'content': render_to_string('rental_quotes/pages/detail.html', context)
            })
        
            return JsonResponse(new_page, safe=False, status=200)

        else:
            return render(request, 'rental_quotes/form_block.html', context )

Which works fine.

In my attempt at creating a class I can import into a class based view I have:

class ObjectCreate(LoginRequiredMixin, View):
        
    def get_date():
        today = datetime.datetime.now()
        enquiry_date = today.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
        return enquiry_date

    def get (self, request):

        object_form = self.request.form(request.POST or None, initial = self.initial_dict)

        context = {
            'form': object_form,
        }
        
        return render(request, f'{self.app_name}/form.html', context )

    def post (self, request):
        
        object_form = self.form(request.POST or None, initial = self.initial_dict)

        if self.object_form.is_valid():
            new_object = object_form.save()
            context = {
                'object': new_object
            }
            found_count = self.model.objects.all().count()
            request.session[f'{self.app_name}_current_index'] = (found_count-1)
            request.session[f'{self.app_name}_found_count'] = found_count
            new_page = json.dumps({
            'url': reverse(f'{self.app_name}-detail', args=[new_object.id]),
            'index': found_count-1,
            'found_count': found_count,
            'content': render_to_string(f'{self.app_name}/pages/detail.html', context)
            })
        
            return JsonResponse(new_page, safe=False, status=200)

        else:
            return render(request, f'{self.app_name}/form_block.html', context )

And in my views.py I have (which inherits from the class above):

class ObjectCreateView(ObjectCreate):

    app_name = 'rental_quotes'
    form = QuoteForm
    

The problem is, when I load that view, I get the following error:

Internal Server Error: /rental_quotes/create/
Traceback (most recent call last):

    object_form = self.form(request.POST or None)
AttributeError: 'ObjectCreate' object has no attribute 'form'

My goal here is to have classes which define custom views that I just need to set attributes such as models and forms, so I can easily re-use the views in other apps by just changing attributes such as model and form.
