Regarding the question “How to use DatePicker in Django forms?”, below is my favorite way to use Datepicker, a very simple and clean way, because there is no need to include JQuery Datepicker.
In models.py
from django.db import models
class Offer(models.Model):
expiration_date = models.DateField(null=True)
In forms.py
from django import forms
from django.forms import ModelForm
from .models import Offer
class DateInput(forms.DateInput):
input_type = 'date'
class OfferForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Offer
fields = fields = '__all__'
widgets = {
'expiration_date': DateInput(),
}
In template
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form|crispy }}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
The result
The field look very nice!
