The example below uses Django's generic.CreateView:

models.py file

class Task(models.Model):
    task_due_date = models.DateField()

views.py file

from bootstrap_datepicker_plus import DatePickerInput

class add_task(LoginRequiredMixin,generic.CreateView):
    model = Task
    fields = '__all__'
    def get_form(self):
        form = super().get_form()
        form.fields['task_due_date'].widget = DatePickerInput()
        return form
    template_name = 'team/add_task.html'

templates/add_task.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load bootstrap4 %}

{% block body %}

{% bootstrap_javascript jquery='full' %}
{{ form.media }}

Add a Task



  

    

        {% csrf_token %}
        {% bootstrap_form form %}
        {% buttons %}
            Add
        {% endbuttons %}
    
  


{% endblock %}
