Django form.as_p DateField not showing input type as date

Question

Working on my first django app, and I have a model defined with some DateFields, and then a ModelForm off of that model i.e.

models

Answer 1

Using the django-widget-tweaks package you can do this pretty simply by using:

{% load widget_tweaks %}
{{form.date|attr:"type:date"}}

and making the field a date time field in your class:

date = forms.DateField()
