What's the cleanest, simplest-to-get running datepicker in Django?

Question

I love the Thauber Schedule datepicker, but it's a datetime picker and I can't get it to just do dates. Any recommendations for nice looking datepickers that come with instructions on how to integrate with a Django date form field?

Answer 1

Following is what I do, no external dependencies at all.:

models.py:

from django.db import models


class Promise(models):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True)
    made_on = models.DateField()

forms.py:

from django import forms
from django.forms import ModelForm

from .models import Promise


class DateInput(forms.DateInput):
    input_type = 'date'


class PromiseForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Promise
        fields = ['title', 'description', 'made_on']
        widgets = {
            'made_on': DateInput(),
        }

my view:

class PromiseCreateView(CreateView):
    model = Promise
    form_class = PromiseForm

And my template:

<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="submit" value="Create" />
</form>

The date picker looks like this:
