Define css class in django Forms

Question

Assume I have a form

class SampleClass(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    age = forms.IntegerField()
    django_hacker = forms.Boolea         


        

Answer 1

You could also use Django Crispy Forms, it's a great tool to define forms in case you'd like to use some CSS framework like Bootstrap or Foundation. And it's easy to specify classes for your form fields there.

Your form class would like this then:

from django import forms

from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Layout, Div, Submit, Field
from crispy_forms.bootstrap import FormActions

class SampleClass(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    age = forms.IntegerField()
    django_hacker = forms.BooleanField(required=False)

    helper = FormHelper()
    helper.form_class = 'your-form-class'
    helper.layout = Layout(
        Field('name', css_class='name-class'),
        Field('age', css_class='age-class'),
        Field('django_hacker', css-class='hacker-class'),
        FormActions(
            Submit('save_changes', 'Save changes'),
        )
    )
