It provides template tags and filters to add or modify CSS classes, HTML attributes, and data attributes on form fields directly in templates.\n\nThe package offers two main interfaces: a `render_field` tag with HTML-like syntax for straightforward customization, and a set of filters (`add_class`, `attr`, `set_data`, `add_error_class`, etc.) for more granular control. It handles single and multi-widget fields, supports filter chaining with leftmost-wins semantics for reusable templates, and integrates cleanly with Django's form rendering pipeline.","worth_installing":"Yes. It is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves a real workflow problem\u2014separating form presentation from Python logic. Install if your Django project has designers or front-end developers who need to customize form rendering without Python changes."},"id":"django-widget-tweaks","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-widget-tweaks","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-widget-tweaks.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-widget-tweaks/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-widget-tweaks","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Tweak the form field rendering in templates, not in python-level form definitions."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1559231,"position":3763,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.1"}
