Adding an attribute to the <input> tag for a django ModelForm field

Question

I have a django model that I\'m displaying as a form using a ModelForm. The defaults work very well for me for the most part.

However, I would like my html

Answer 1

Slight change to @josh-smeaton 's answer.

class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model = Author
    widgets = {
        'name': forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'name'}),
    }

Without the "forms." in front of TextInput a NameError would be raised.
