django-dob-widget

A Django date widget optimised for usability in entering dates of birth.

This is based on the guidelines put forward by the UK Government Digital Service at https://designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2013/12/05/asking-for-a-date-of-birth/

Usage:

from django import forms
from dobwidget import DateOfBirthWidget

class PersonModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    """
    Model form for people.
    """

    class Meta(object):
        model = Person
        fields = ['name', 'date_of_birth']
        widgets = {
            'date_of_birth': DateOfBirthWidget(),
        }

The DateOfBirthWidget can take an optional order parameter, to make it useful in non-UK jurisdictions:

    class Meta(object):
        model = Person
        fields = ['name', 'date_of_birth']
        widgets = {
            'date_of_birth': DateOfBirthWidget(order='MDY'),
        }
