Answer 1

you can simply create a HTML Datepicker Without using a fancy JAvascript Library.Here is the simple demo:

First create a dateinput field inherited from Dateinput:

 class DateInput(forms.DateInput):
     input_type = 'date'

And use this DateInput Field as like this :

 class BookingRoomForm(ModelForm):
     class Meta:
         widgets = {'checkin':DateInput()}
         model = BookingRoom
         fields = ['checkin',]

If you're not using ModelForm,Use widget something like this :

class BookingRoomForm(ModelForm):
    checkin = forms.DateField(widget=DateInput())
    class Meta:
        model = BookingRoom
        fields = ['checkin',]

And the output will be like this : enter image description here
