To use Bootstrap date-picker in your Django app install django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus, follow the installation instructions on the GitHub page to configure it, then you can use it in Custom Forms and Model Forms as below.

Usage in Custom Forms:

from bootstrap_datepicker_plus import DatePickerInput

class ToDoForm(forms.Form):
    user = forms.CharField()
    date_from = forms.DateField(widget = DatePickerInput())

Usage in Model Forms:

from bootstrap_datepicker_plus import DatePickerInput

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ['user', 'date_from', 'date_to']
        widgets = {
            'date_form': DatePickerInput(),
            'date_to': DatePickerInput()
        }

Usage with django-filters:

from bootstrap_datepicker_plus import DatePickerInput

class Filter(django_filters.FilterSet):
   class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ['user', 'date_from', 'date_to']
        widgets = {'date': DatePickerInput()}
