What it is and what it does
crispy-bootstrap4 is a template pack that bridges django-crispy-forms and Bootstrap 4, providing pre-built HTML templates for rendering Django form fields and layouts with Bootstrap 4 classes and structure. It was originally part of django-crispy-forms but was extracted into a separate package starting with version 2.0.
When installed and configured, it allows developers to use django-crispy-forms' form rendering tags and filters to automatically output Bootstrap 4-compliant HTML without writing custom templates. The package depends on django and django-crispy-forms as its only runtime dependencies, making it a lightweight addition to existing Django projects.
Use it for
- Render Django forms with Bootstrap 4 styling automatically without writing custom HTML templates.
- Migrate existing django-crispy-forms projects to Bootstrap 4 after the template pack was separated from core.
- Build Django admin interfaces or user-facing forms with consistent Bootstrap 4 appearance.
- Reduce boilerplate form markup by delegating layout and styling to the template pack.
