DateField is not rendered as type=“date”

问题

class Form(Form):
      plan_start = DateField('Plan Start', validators=[Required()]) 

this code will render this html.

<input id="plan_start" name="plan_start" type="text" value="">

My question is: why the type is text and not date?

I only can get this resolved by passing explicitly the type='date' in template.

 {% raw form.plan_start.label %}{% raw form.plan_start(type='date') %}

回答1:

You can use the DateField from html5.

from wtforms.fields.html5 import DateField


class Form(Form):
    plan_start = DateField('Plan Start', validators=[Required()])

To get type as date instead of text , you need to pass format option also like below

password = DateField('Your Date of Birth', validators=[DataRequired()], format='%Y-%m-%d')

Try to create a custom widget:

from django.forms import widgets

class CustomDateInput(widgets.TextInput):
    input_type = 'date'

class Form(Form):
    plan_start = DateField('Plan Start', validators=[Required()], widget=CustomDateInput)
