How to show datepicker calendar on datefield with Python Django?

To show datepicker calendar on datefield with Python Django, we can add a date input into the form template.

For instance, we write

from django import forms
class HolidayTimeForm(forms.Form):
    holiday_date = forms.DateField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=
                                {
                                    'class':'datepicker'
                                }))

to add a date field into our form.

And then in our form’s template, we add

<script>
  $(function () {
    $(".datepicker").datepicker({
      changeMonth: true,
      changeYear: true,
      yearRange: "1900:2022",
      // ...
    });
  });
</script>
