Django: Best Way to Add Javascript to Custom Widgets
Take a look at form media http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/media/#topics-forms-media
If you're looking at adding some inline JavaScript below your Django form field you can add overwrite the render
method on a form field. Below I've created a custom input field, grabbed the rendered HTML and appended a new <script>...</script>
to the output.
from django import forms
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
class CustomInputField(forms.TextInput):
def render(self, name, value, attrs=None, renderer=None):
html = super().render(name, value, attrs)
inline_code = mark_safe(
"<script>jQuery('#date').datepicker()</script>"
)
return html + inline_code
This will put the right below your form field in the HTML.
