Getting Started

Prerequisites

Python >= 3.8
Django >= 2.0
Bootstrap >= 3
jquery >= 1.7.1

Install

Install the PyPI package via pip

pip install django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus

Add bootstrap_datepicker_plus to the list of INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # Add the following
    "bootstrap_datepicker_plus",
]

Configure template

The following step requires jQuery and Bootstrap JS/CSS files to be present in your template. You can also use django-bootstrap3, django-bootstrap4, django-bootstrap5 or django-crispy-forms to render the form.

<!-- File: example-template.html -->
{{ form.media }}  {# Adds widget's JS/CSS files from CDN #}
<form method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {% bootstrap_form form %}  {# Renders form fields using django-bootstrapX #}
</form>

If you are using django-crispy-forms use crispy filter to render form fields instead.

<!-- File: example-template.html -->
{{ form.media }}  {# Adds widget's JS/CSS files from CDN #}
<form method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form | crispy }}  {# Renders form fields #}
</form>

Alternatively you can use {% crispy %} tag to render entire form.

<!-- File: example-template.html -->
{% crispy form %} {# Adds widget's JS/CSS files from CDN and renders the form #}

Then head over to Usage page to see how to use it in forms and views.
