Django 1.8 & Django Crispy Forms: Is there a simple, easy way of implementing a Date Picker?

Question

There are an awful lot of date/datetime picker implementations out there. Are there any that integrate with Django and Crispy Forms particularly well, and how are they used?

Answer 1

My solution is simple and uses the datetimepicker from https://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/.

Include the css file:

Include the js files:

Define a css class for the field in the form (works with Crispy too):

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModelo
        fields =       ['a','b','c']

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['a'].widget.attrs['class'] = 'datepicker'

In the template include a JQuery function linking to the css class:

This solution works great with Django 1.10, Crispy Forms and Django Model Forms.
