How to send an array in an HTML post request with Django

Question

I've got an array of values from a checklist:

{% for groups in groupList %}
    <tr>
        <td id="checkboxes">
            <input type="checkbox" name="check" id="check_{{groups.GroupID}}">
        </td>
    <tr>
{% endfor %}

note this is just a snippet of a larger table. this is the relevant data though.

I need to take all checked items in the table and extract the groups.GroupID into an array and pass this to somewhere (presumably a view) where I can use the data to edit a model instance.

I know how to get the data to an array just fine, but I'm not sure how to approach passing the data on. Possibly a form but I'm not sure how I would implement this to be attached to a view and also pass an array.

Use request.POST.getlist:

eg:

for array_obj in request.POST.getlist('check'):
    # code

This looks like what I need! Do you know how I would include an array in my post request?

I haven't been able to test it yet as I'm not sure how to include the array in my post request
