Hi I am trying to use a Django plugin called django-countries to add a select with all the countries, sofar It's working but how can I add a html class to the select?
In Django, a form field is rendered into an HTML representation using a widget.
Typically, you can make the widget render class and other HTML attributes by specifying these as arguments to the widget when you are defining your form. For example:
from django import forms
class CommentForm(forms.Form):
comment = forms.CharField(
widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={"class": "my-class"})
)
Given your question relates to a custom field in django-countries you should try the same by passing your custom attributes when instantiating a CountrySelectWidget instance. For example:
from django import forms
from django_countries.fields import CountryField
from django_countries.widgets import CountrySelectWidget
class CustomForm(forms.Form):
country = CountryField().formfield(
widget=CountrySelectWidget(
attrs={"class": "my-class"}
)
)
