I"m reading the flask web development book, and I"m confused about the processing logic of submitting forms to the server through POST. 
 the following is a code snippet from the book, which is the view function: corresponding to the root path 
@app.route("/", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def index():
    name = None
    form = NameForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        name = form.name.data
        form.name.data = ""
    return render_template("index.html", form=form, name=name)Screenshot of the page:
  
 
 my idea is: when the user visits the home page for the first time, the browser issues a GET request, and the server calls the index () function to process the request.  form  is created by  NameForm () , so  form.validate_on_submit ()  returns False. However, when a user submits a form through POST, the server should still call the index () function to process the request, so doesn"t that create a new form through  form = NameForm () ? Should this new form be empty? Why does  form.validate_on_submit ()  return True? at this time 
how does flask handle POST requests involving forms such as the sample code?
Thank you.
