Project description
This django widget contains Date-Picker, Time-Picker, DateTime-Picker input widgets with date-range-picker functionality for django version >= 2.0.

For Bootstrap date-picker see django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus.
Demo
Getting Started
Prerequisites
Python >= 3.4
Django >= 2.0
Installing
Install the PyPI package via pip.
pip install django-flatpickr
Add flatpickr to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# Add the following
'flatpickr',
]
Usage
The HTML template must have the following to render the flatpickr widget. A better example is here.
<!-- File: todo.html -->
{{ form.media }} {# Adds all flatpickr JS/CSS files from CDN #}
{{ form.as_p }} {# Renders the form #}
You can use it with generic views without a model form. It can also be used with custom forms and model forms as below.
Usage in Custom Form
# File: forms.py
from flatpickr import DatePickerInput, TimePickerInput, DateTimePickerInput
from .models import Event
from django import forms
class ToDoForm(forms.Form):
todo = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput())
date = forms.DateField(widget=DatePickerInput())
time = forms.TimeField(widget=TimePickerInput())
datetime = forms.DateTimeField(widget=DateTimePickerInput())
# File: views.py
class CustomFormView(generic.FormView):
template_name = 'myapp/custom-form.html'
form_class = ToDoForm
See models.py, forms.py, views.py, custom-form.html for more details.
Usage in Model Form
# File: forms.py
from flatpickr import DatePickerInput, TimePickerInput, DateTimePickerInput
from .models import Event
from django import forms
class EventForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Event
fields = ['name', 'start_date', 'start_time', 'start_datetime']
widgets = {
'start_date': DatePickerInput(),
'start_time': TimePickerInput(),
'start_datetime': DateTimePickerInput(),
}
# File: views.py
class UpdateView(generic.edit.UpdateView):
model = Event
form_class = EventForm
See models.py, forms.py, views.py, event_form.html for more details.
Implement date-range-picker
DatePickers can be linked together to select a date-range, time-range or date-time-range without writing a single line of JavaScript.
# File: forms.py
from flatpickr import DatePickerInput, TimePickerInput
from django import forms
class EventForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Event
fields = ['name', 'start_date', 'end_date', 'start_time', 'end_time']
widgets = {
'start_date':DatePickerInput().start_of('event days'),
'end_date':DatePickerInput().end_of('event days'),
'start_time':TimePickerInput().start_of('party time'),
'end_time':TimePickerInput().end_of('party time'),
}
Customization
To customize the look and features of flatpickr widget copy the settings block to your settings.py file and customize it. Settings applies globally to all flatpickr widgets used in your site.
If you need to customize a single flatpickr widget you can do it as follows:
class ToDoForm(forms.Form):
todo = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput())
date = forms.DateField(widget=DatePickerInput(
attrs = { # input element attributes
"class": "my-custom-class",
},
options = { # flatpickr options
"dateFormat": "m/d/Y",
}
))
