The best way to have Django DRY forms. Build programmatic reusable layouts out of components, having full control of the rendered HTML without writing HTML in templates. All this without breaking the standard way of doing things in Django, so it plays nice with any other form application.
The application mainly provides:
- A filter named
|crispythat will render elegant div based forms. Think of it as the built-in methods:as_table,as_ulandas_p. You cannot tune up the output, but it is easy to start using it. - A tag named
{% crispy %}that will render a form based on your configuration and specific layout setup. This gives you amazing power without much hassle, helping you save tons of time.
By default all the templates were designed to work with Uni-form, but you can create your own or use other bundles available, see the docs for more information.
django-crispy-forms is the new django-uni-form. django-uni-form was an application created by Daniel Greenfeld that I leaded since version 0.8.0. The name change tries to better explain the purpose of the application, which changed in a significant way since its birth.
If you are upgrading from django-uni-form, we have instructions for helping you.
