How do I iterate over a ser

Answer 1

For any frontend developers looking to customize a Django form you can use a package called django-widget-tweaks to render fields individually. Example code below:

{# Your template with the form #}
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load widget_tweaks %}


    {% csrf_token %}

    {% for field in form %}
        
          {{ field.label }}{% if field.field.required %}*{% endif %}
        
        {% render_field field %}
    {% endfor %}

    
        Submit Form
    

Note: You'll want to make this look nicer of course, and you may want to loop through your form errors if there are any.

They have some very useful examples on their PyPi page as well.
