How to get the value of or Parse HTML dropdown selected:option text as python variable in views.py in Django?

I have a 3 way dropdown list generated from 3 different tables linked via foreign keys.

dropdown model.py is a follows

####################################################################################
class State(models.Model):
    state_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)
    state_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(unique=True, validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(100)])
    
    class Meta:
        db_table = 'State_Names'

    def __str__(self):
        return self.state_name
####################################################################################
class District(models.Model):
    state_name = models.ForeignKey(State, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    state_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(100)])
    district_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True)
    district_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(unique=True, validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(1000)])

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'District_Names'

    def __str__(self):
        return self.district_name
####################################################################################
class Block(models.Model):
    state_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    state_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(100)])
    district_name = models.ForeignKey(District, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    district_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(1000)])
    block_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    block_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(unique=True, validators=[MinValueValidator(1), MaxValueValidator(8000)])
    
    class Meta:
        db_table = 'Block_Names'

    def __str__(self):
        return self.block_name

views.py is as

def get_state_district_and_block_string(request):

    if request.method == "POST":
        state_name_is=request.POST.get('state_dropdown')
        print("state_name_is", state_name_is)
        district_name_is=request.POST.get('district_dropdown')        
        block_name_is=request.POST.get('block_dropdown')

    return render(request, 'index.html')

Dropdown.html is as

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="state_dropdown">Select State</label>
    <select class="form-control" id="state_dropdown" name="state_dropdown" aria-label="...">
        <option selected disabled="true" class="col-md-12 school-options-dropdown text-center"> --- Select State --- </option>
        
    </select>
</div>

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="district_dropdown">Select District</label>
    <select class="form-control" id="district_dropdown" name="district_dropdown" aria-label="...">
        <option selected disabled="true" class="col-md-12 school-options-dropdown text-center"> --- Select District --- </option>
        
    </select>
</div>

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="block_dropdown">Select Block</label>
    <select class="form-control" id="block_dropdown" name="block_dropdown" aria-label="...">
        <option selected disabled="true" class="col-md-12 school-options-dropdown text-center"> --- Select Block --- </option>
        
    </select>
</div>

From this Dropdown.html, the value which is being fetched by views.py out of this eg: value=""> is 1st set of curly brackets

but I am interested in 2nd one containing the string of interest because it returns same value of state by request.POST.get method in 1st set of curly brackets

The Jquery is as follows for getting the related option (PS: dropdowns is only working fine for any 2 sets of variables, not for the last option )

$(document).ready(function(){
    var states = $('#state_dropdown');
        districts = $('#district_dropdown');
        
        districtOptions = districts.find('option');

        states.on('change',function(){
        districts.html(districtOptions.filter('[value="'+this.value+'"]'));
        }).trigger('change');

        let  = document.getElementById("district_dropdown").textContent;

        console.log("text", text)
      
      });
  

  $(document).ready(function(){
     var districts = $('#district_dropdown');

        blocks = $('#block_dropdown');
        
        blockOptions = blocks.find('option');

        districts.on('change',function(){
        blocks.html(blockOptions.filter('[value="'+this.value+'"]'));
        }).trigger('change');
      
      });  

How to get the text of the selected option present in 2nd set of curly brackets from the dropdown as a python variable in views.py.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
