What are some examples of using Django Crispy Forms?

Can you show me some examples of using Django Crispy Forms?

Sure! Django Crispy Forms helps to manage form layouts easily. For example, you can create a simple form like this:

from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Layout, Submit
from django import forms

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(label='Your Name')
    email = forms.EmailField(label='Your Email')

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.helper = FormHelper()
        self.helper.layout = Layout(
            'name',
            'email',
            Submit('submit', 'Submit')
        )

This creates a form with a submit button styled by Crispy Forms.

How can I customize the layout further?

You can customize the layout by adding more fields and using different layout objects. For instance, you can use Row and Column to arrange fields:

from crispy_forms.layout import Row, Column

self.helper.layout = Layout(
    Row(
        Column('name', css_class='form-group col-md-6 mb-0'),
        Column('email', css_class='form-group col-md-6 mb-0'),
        css_class='form-row'
    ),
    Submit('submit', 'Submit')
)

Are there any built-in templates I can use?

Yes, Django Crispy Forms comes with several built-in templates. You can specify a template pack in your settings, like this:

CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'bootstrap4'

This allows you to use Bootstrap 4 styles for your forms.

Can I use Crispy Forms with Django's built-in forms?

Absolutely! You can use Django Crispy Forms with any Django form, including ModelForms. Just initialize the Crispy helper in the same way.
