How do I set up Django Crispy Forms?

To set up Django Crispy Forms, first install it using pip: pip install django-crispy-forms. Then, add 'crispy_forms' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

What do I need to do after installing it?

After installation, you need to specify a template pack in your settings. For example, add CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'bootstrap4' to your settings.py.

Can you show me an example of a form using Crispy Forms?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import 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.add_input(Submit('submit', 'Submit'))

This will create a form with a submit button styled with Bootstrap.

What if I want to use a different template pack?

You can use different template packs like 'bootstrap3', 'uni_form', or 'foundation'. Just change the CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK setting accordingly.
