How to use

This project is still in its early stages.

Current functionality allows the |crispy filter to be used to style your form. In your template:

Load the filter: {% load tailwind_filters %}
Apply the crispy filter: {{ form|crispy }}

We can also use the {% crispy %} tag to allow usage of crispy-forms' FormHelper and Layout. In your template:

Load the crispy tag: {% load crispy_forms_tags %}
Add FormHelper to your form and use crispy-forms to set-up your form
Use the crispy tag {% crispy form %} in your template

FAQs

What about custom widgets?

The template pack includes default styles for widgets included in Django itself. Styling of widget instances_ can be done by using the widget.attrs argument when creating the widget.

For example the following form will render <input type="text" name="name" class="customtextwidget custom-css" required id="id_name">::

class CustomTextWidget(forms.TextInput):
    pass

class CustomTextWidgetForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(
        widget=CustomTextWidget(attrs={"class": "custom-css"})
    )
