Widgets¶
- class crispy_forms_gds.widgets.DateInputWidget(*args, **kwargs)¶
A DateInputWidget defines the styling of the set of fields for displaying the value for a DateInputField.
A custom widget was needed for two reasons. First the CSS classes needed to style the fields and set their width reduces the code need to add a Date input component to a form. Second, the Design System requires labels for the individual fields. That’s not supported out of the box by a MultiValueField so the labels are added as a custom attribute and rendered with the correct markup in the template. The template also pops the label from the widget so it does not also get added as an attribute.
- decompress(value)¶

date
into values for the day, month and year so it can be displayed in the widget’s fields.- Parameters
