What's the cleanest, simplest-to-get running datepicker in Django?

Question

I love the Thauber Schedule datepicker, but it\'s a datetime picker and I can\'t get it to just do dates. Any recommendations for nice looking datepickers that come with ins

Answer 1

When it comes to date-pickers my choice is Bootstrap Datepicker. You can implement it in your django app by using django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus which works both on newer and older DJango versions. I maintain the repository and tested it working in DJango version 1.8, 1.10, 1.11 and 2.0.4.

The setup is quite easy. You just install it.

  pip install django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus

Import the widget in your forms.py file

    from bootstrap_datepicker_plus import DatePickerInput

Add the widget to your date field

    class ToDoForm(forms.Form):
        date = forms.DateField(
            widget=DatePickerInput(
                options={
                    "format": "mm/dd/yyyy",
                    "autoclose": True
                }
            )
        )

Detailed instructions are available on the django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus Github Page.
