I have override date format in django modelform widget and jQuery datepicker, it given error that field is not valid
class Sale_Invoice_Main_Page(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = SaleInvoice
fields = '__all__'
exclude = ['created_at','updated_at','transiction_type']
widgets = {'description' : forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'placeholder' : 'description'}),
'invoice_no' : forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'readonly' : 'True'}),
'total_amount' : forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'readonly' : 'True'}),
'invoice_date' : forms.DateInput(attrs={ 'class' : "vdate" },format=('%d-%m-%Y')),
'due_date' : forms.DateInput(attrs={ 'readonly' : "True" },format=('%d-%m-%Y')),
}
class SaleInvoice(models.Model):
customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer_data , on_delete=models.CASCADE)
invoice_date = models.DateField(null=True,blank=True)
invoice_no = models.PositiveIntegerField(unique=True)
due_date = models.DateField(blank=True,null=True)
address = models.TextField()
total_amount = models.PositiveIntegerField(null=True,blank=True)
description = models.TextField(null=True,blank=True)
transiction_type = models.CharField(max_length=50,blank=True)
author = models.CharField(max_length=30)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.address
jQuery date picker:
{# Date Picker#}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script>
$( function() {
$( ".vdate" ).datepicker({
dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy"
});
} );
</script>
I want to find what I am doing wrong that it is given validation error
This can be a little tricky with localization sometimes. Normally you'd add DATE_INPUT_FORMATS to your settings. Formats from this list will be accepted when inputting data on a date field meaning adding
DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%d-%m-%Y'
]
to your settings should fix your issue. But this can be a little tricky sometimes when USE_L10N
is set to True
, because in this case the locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. For this reason I suggest that you don't hardcode date format in your jQuery datepicker, but rather use defaults and get date format from DATE_INPUT_FORMATS. Something like this should do the trick:
from django.utils import formats
# First date format in default (English) is '%Y-%m-%d', most European languages '%d.%m.%Y' etc.
date_format = formats.get_format("DATE_INPUT_FORMATS")[0]
date_format = date_format.split()[0].replace('%Y', 'YY').replace('%d', 'dd').replace('%m', 'mm')
and use it your template:
<script>
$( function() {
$( ".vdate" ).datepicker({
dateFormat: "{{ date_format }}"
});
} );
</script>
This way date format will match no matter the format precedence. It is preferred that you include date format in your own context processor . Now it will be included in the context of all your templates.
my_context_processor.py
from django.utils import formats
def common_context(request):
''' Common variables used in templates '''
date_format = formats.get_format("DATE_INPUT_FORMATS")[0]
date_format = date_format.split()[0].replace('%Y', 'YYYY').replace('%d', 'dd').replace('%m', 'mm')
return {'date_format ': date_format}
