How can I use Django Crispy Forms for layouts?

You can use Django Crispy Forms to create flexible layouts by defining a layout class. This allows you to customize the arrangement of form fields.

Can you show me an example of a layout class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Layout, Field, Submit

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField()
    email = forms.EmailField()

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

This layout arranges the fields vertically.

What if I want to add a custom CSS class to a field?

You can add a custom CSS class by using the css_class parameter in the Field layout. For example:

Field('name', css_class='my-custom-class')

Is it possible to create multi-column layouts?

Yes, you can create multi-column layouts using the Row and Column classes in Crispy Forms. This allows you to organize fields in a grid-like structure.
