How to set a default time in Django ModelForm-CodePudding

I created a Django ModelForm.

Here is the models.py file

class Room(models. Model):
    available_from = models.TimeField()
    available_till = models.TimeField()

Here is the forms.py file

class RoomForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class TimeInput(forms.TimeInput):
        input_type = 'time'

    available_from = forms.TimeField(
        widget=TimeInput(),
        )

    available_till = forms.TimeField(
        widget=TimeInput(),
        )


    class Meta:
        model = Room
        fields = ['available_from','available_till']

I want to know how to set a default time to the form.

CodePudding user response：

You can specify a default in the model if you want to do this for all forms/admins/… that are derived from this model:

from datetime import time


class Room(models. Model):
    available_from = models.TimeField(default=time(2))
    available_till = models.TimeField()

or if this is specific to this form, you can use the initial=… parameter ^[Django-doc]:

from datetime import time


class TimeInput(forms.TimeInput):
    input_type = 'time'

class RoomForm(forms.ModelForm):
    available_from = forms.TimeField(
        widget=TimeInput(),
        initial=time(2)
    )
    
    class Meta:
        model = Room
        fields = ['available_from','available_till']
        widgets = {'available_till': TimeInput}
