How to customize Date and Time field in django forms?-CodePudding

How to customzie the default dateTime field in django forms to be more friendly to the user.

forms.py:

class new_album_form(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = album
        fields = ['album_name', 'album_artist', 'released_at', 'price', 'is_approved']

and I am using the default django forms

<form method="post" novalidate>
  {% csrf_token %} 
  {{form.as_p}}
  <button type="submit" value="submit">Create</button>
</form>

According to your expected out, I think you have to add widgets to your form.

try this:

class new_album_form(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = album
        fields = ['album_name', 'album_artist', 'released_at', 'price', 'is_approved']
        widgets = {
               'album_name': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form- 
                control'}),
               'album_artist': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form- 
                control'}),
               'release_at': forms.DateTimeInput(attrs={'class':'form- 
                control', 'data-target': '#datetimepicker1'}),
               #Add your remaining widgets here
        }

And in templates:

<input type="date" data-target="#datetimepicker1"  value="{{form.release_at}}" />  #form is a context name from views.py file
