django-datetimepicker

Uses xdsoft's datetimepicker to make a datetimepicker widget for django. This is inspired by the django-bootstrap3-datetimepicker application.

Installation

  • Run pip install django-datetimepicker
  • Add 'datetimepicker' to your INSTALLED_APPS

Basic usage

Here is an example of how to use the widget. Further examples can be found in the example project.

  1. Assign the DateTimePicker to a DateTimeField, DateField or TimeField.
from django import forms
from datetimepicker.widgets import DateTimePicker


class SampleForm(forms.Form):

    datetime = forms.DateTimeField(
        widget=DateTimePicker(),
    )

This will render the following html code:

<div  class=" date input-group" id="datetimepicker_id_datetime">
	<input  class=" form-control" id="id_datetime" name="datetime" type="text" required/>
</div>
<script>(function () {
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$("#id_datetime").datetimepicker();
	});
})(jQuery);
</script>

Passing options to jQuery.datetimepicker

You can add jQuery.datetimepicker options according to your needs. See XDSoft's documentation for a full list of options.

    datetime = forms.DateTimeField(
        widget=DateTimePicker(options={
	    'format': '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M',
	    'language': 'en-us',
	}),
    )

Customization with template overloading

django-datetimepicker uses Django's own templating engine to render the field itself and the script tag needed to run it. This allows to overload the templates to adapt the widget and javascript to your needs.

Form javascript media

As seen in the basic example, a <script>-tag containing the logic to load the widget is rendered below the input field by default. This can be prevented by setting the script_tag argument of the widget's initialiser.

from django import forms
from datetimepicker.widgets import DateTimePicker


class SampleForm(forms.Form):

    datetimepicker_without_script_tag = forms.DateTimeField(
    	widget=DateTimePicker(script_tag=False),
    )

The javascript to initialise the widget can be provided as external file with the form media using the js_loader_url helper. The media is added dynamically.

 from django import forms
+from datetimepicker.helpers import js_loader_url
 from datetimepicker.widgets import DateTimePicker


 class SampleForm(forms.Form):

     datetimepicker_without_script_tag = forms.DateTimeField(
	 widget=DateTimePicker(script_tag=False),
     )

+    @property
+    def media(self):
+       form_media = forms.Media(js=[
+           js_loader_url(
+               fields=self.fields,
+               input_ids=['id_datetimepicker_without_script_tag'],
+           ),
+       ])
+       return super(SampleForm, self).media + form_media

js_loader_url requires to include the datetimepicker.urls to your urls.py.

 urlpatterns = [
     ...
+    url(r'^datetimepicker/', include('datetimepicker.urls')),
     ...
 ]
