Using crispy forms

Crispy forms is a third-party package for improving the look of Django forms. To install, pip install django-crispy-forms — remember to install within your Docker container if using Docker.

Next we must include it in INSTALLED_APPS inside settings.py, by adding crispy_forms to the list. We must also set the below constant inside settings.py when using with Bootstrap:

CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = 'bootstrap4'

The final step is to implement crispy forms in the template where your form is being presented. First use a load tag to load crispy forms tags, then use the syntax {{ form|crispy }}, assuming that the view has included the form under the name 'form' in the context dictionary.

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

...

<form method="post">
	{% csrf_token %}
	{{ form|crispy }}
	<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
