Crispy-Tailwind

A Tailwind CSS template pack for the wonderful django-crispy-forms.

How to install

Install via pip.

pip install crispy-tailwind

You will need to update your project's settings file to add crispy_forms and crispy_tailwind to your project's INSTALLED_APPS setting. Also set tailwind as an allowed template pack and as the default template pack for your project:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    "crispy_forms",
    "crispy_tailwind",
    ...
)

CRISPY_ALLOWED_TEMPLATE_PACKS = "tailwind"

CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK = "tailwind"

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:

  1. Load the filter: {% load tailwind_filters %}
  2. 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:

  1. Load the crispy tag: {% load crispy_forms_tags %}
  2. Add FormHelper to your form and use crispy-forms to set-up your form
  3. 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"})
    )
