django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus

What it is and what it does

django-bootstrap-datepicker-plus is a Django form widget that provides styled date, time, and datetime input fields compatible with Bootstrap 3, 4, and 5. It includes specialized pickers for dates, times, datetimes, months, and years, all with optional date-range linking. The widget integrates directly into Django model forms and custom forms, allowing developers to replace standard date inputs with interactive calendar and time-picker interfaces that match their Bootstrap theme.

The package is designed for Django projects that already use Bootstrap for styling. It handles JavaScript initialization and configuration automatically, letting you specify picker behavior through widget parameters. Date-range functionality allows linking two pickers so that selecting a start date constrains the end date picker. The widget is configurable for date format, language, and appearance, with support for custom templates if needed.

Use it for:

• Replace standard Django date inputs in event booking forms with interactive calendar pickers.
• Implement date-range selection for report filters or booking start/end dates in admin interfaces.
• Add time-picker widgets to appointment scheduling forms without writing custom JavaScript.
• Provide month and year pickers for forms that only need coarse-grained date selection.
• Maintain consistent Bootstrap styling for all form inputs including date/time fields across a Django application.
