Django Toolkit for integration with Bootstrap

The easiest way to use Bootstrap in your Django project. What is Bootstrap? You can find out all about it here: http://getbootstrap.com

Installation

1. Install using pip:

    pip install django-bootstrap-toolkit
   

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

    'bootstrap_toolkit',
   

Alternatively, you can add django-bootstrap-toolkit to your requirements.txt.

If you want to hack django-bootstrap itself, clone this repo and call pip install -e ..

Use in templates

{% load bootstrap_toolkit %}

# Using a filter

<form action="/url/to/submit/" method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form|as_bootstrap }}
    <div class="form-actions">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    </div>
</form>

# Using template tags

<form action="/url/to/submit/" method="post" class="form">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {% bootstrap_form form layout="vertical" %}
    <div class="form-actions">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
    </div>
</form>

Use in forms

class TestForm(forms.Form):
    date = forms.DateField(
        widget=BootstrapDateInput(),
    )
    title = forms.CharField(
        max_length=100,
        help_text=u'This is the standard text input',
    )
    uneditable = forms.CharField(
        max_length=100,
        help_text=u'I am uneditable and you cannot enable me with JS',
        initial=u'Uneditable',
        widget=BootstrapUneditableInput()
    )
    prepended = forms.CharField(
        max_length=100,
        help_text=u'I am prepended by a P',
        widget=BootstrapTextInput(prepend='P'),
    )

About

django-bootstrap-toolkit is written by Dylan Verheul (dylan@dyve.net).

History

When building my first Django project with Bootstrap I went looking for available open source applications that connected Django and Bootstrap.

I found https://github.com/tzangms/django-bootstrap-form. The approach to template tags and filters seemed right, but Bootstrap does so much more than just forms.

This is how django-bootstrap-toolkit started. I used ideas from other Django apps. The code was started from scratch.
