What it is and what it does
Crispy-Tailwind is a template pack that bridges django-crispy-forms and Tailwind CSS, letting you style Django forms with Tailwind utility classes instead of Bootstrap or other frameworks. It works by providing Tailwind-compatible HTML templates that crispy-forms uses when you apply the `|crispy` filter or `{% crispy %}` tag to your form objects.
The package is still in early development stages and supports Django 4.2 and 5.0 on Python 3.8–3.12. It includes default styles for Django's built-in form widgets and allows further customization via widget attributes. Installation is straightforward—add it to INSTALLED_APPS, set the template pack to "tailwind" in settings, and use the filter or tag in your templates.
Use it for
- Render Django forms with Tailwind CSS styling in new Django projects using Tailwind for the UI framework.
- Migrate existing django-crispy-forms projects from Bootstrap to Tailwind without rewriting form templates.
- Style custom form widgets by combining Tailwind classes with widget.attrs in form field definitions.
- Use FormHelper and Layout from crispy-forms to control form structure while Tailwind handles visual styling.
