Django Toolkit for integration with Bootstrap v2

The easiest way to use Bootstrap v2 in your Django project. What is Bootstrap? You can find out all about it here: http://getbootstrap.com

This project is retired

The time for development on Bootstrap v2 has passed. This app is provided 'as is', and will not be updated.

Everyone using Django and Bootstrap is encouraged to upgrade to django-bootstrap3. You can find it at https://github.com/dyve/django-bootstrap3.

Installation

Install using pip:
```
 pip install django-bootstrap-toolkit
```
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.
