Introduction

If you're developing a web application using Django and have opted for Crispy Forms, you may sometimes encounter difficulties with aligning form fields properly in your template. This issue often arises when you want multiple fields to appear in a row rather than the default stacked column layout. In this post, we will explore how to structure your templates and forms to achieve the desired layout, ensuring your form looks clean and is user-friendly.

Understanding the Problem

When using Django and Crispy Forms, it can be challenging to achieve the desired layout for your input fields. By default, Crispy Forms may stack the fields vertically, leading to a less appealing and harder-to-navigate form. The objective here is to modify our template to align the fields in rows, making better use of space and improving usability.

The Solution

Step 1: Setting Up Your Form

In your forms.py, you will define a form class that uses the Crispy Forms helper class to specify how the forms will behave. Below is an example of how to set up your form class:

Step 2: Modify Your Template

Next, you need to adjust your template to utilize Bootstrap's grid system effectively. This will allow you to arrange your form fields side by side. Here's an illustration of how you can structure your template:

Key Changes Made

Using Bootstrap's Grid System: You wrapped your form fields in Bootstrap's .form-group.row and used .col classes to allow for side-by-side alignment.

Directly Rendering Crispy Fields: Instead of rendering the complete form with {% crispy form %}, individual form fields are included using {{ form.field_name|as_crispy_field }} to have finer control over layout.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully align your form fields in a row with Django Crispy Forms. A clean, organized form not only improves usability but also enhances the overall user experience.
