I am new to frontend development. Normally I do backend and infra. During the daytime I heard from the frontend-angular guys talking on datepicker widget a lot. Now I am free from the routine job and have his example source code to study. I would like to start an easiest one first then back to the root source of my curiosity :)
how to show datepicker calendar on datefield
I am trying to add datepicker to my page replace ordinary textfield with validator:
from django import forms
class ReportOneForm(forms.Form):
start_date = forms.DateField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'datepicker'}))
end_date = forms.DateField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'datepicker'}))
def clean(self):
cleanded_data = super().clean()
start_date = cleanded_data.get('start_date')
end_date = cleanded_data.get('end_date')
if start_date > end_date:
raise forms.ValidationError(f"Start Date must not after End Date")
Template
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Report 1 Result</title>
<form method="post" class="post-form">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit" class="save btn btn-default">Save</button>
</form>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
<script>
$(function() {
$( ".datepicker" ).datepicker({
changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true,
yearRange: "1900:2012",
// You can put more options here.
});
});
</script>
I must misunderstand something in this page.
You might need to load JQuery-UI
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
(as in this answer)
And in case you don't have it also JQuery
