I want to use this daterange picker for my Django Project
The problem is that I don't know what I have to do on the server side (Django)?
May be create some kind of widget?
May be subclass widgets.MultiWidget?
I think that this widget have to behave like two DateTimeFields?
Is this possible with Django?
I had to do this; so I share the code here. It basically re-uses Django DateField
.
class DateRangeField(forms.DateField):
def to_python(self, value):
values = value.split(' - ')
from_date = super(DateRangeField, self).to_python(values[0])
to_date = super(DateRangeField, self).to_python(values[1])
return from_date, to_date
and
date_range = DateRangeField(required=False,
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': _('from'),
'class': 'form-control datepicker'}))
Given that the example output is
MM/DD/YYYY - MM/DD/YYYY
This is what will post to your view. I would just handle this on your own rather than using a Django Form, and store it in two DateFields. Something along the lines of this:
date_range = request.POST['date_range']
start_date_string = date_range.split(' - ')[0]
end_date_string = date.range.split(' - ')[1]
This will get you your two strings needed, then simply just pass them into the DateFields and save it.
