Support for ChoiceField

[filipeximenes]

It's possible to render choice fields this way:

{% for radio in form.my_radio_field %}
                  {{ radio.tag }}
                  {{ radio.choice_label }}
{% endfor %}

This gives more control over the generated HTML. It's not currently possible to use widget tweaks template tags in this case. Eg.:

{% for radio in form.my_radio_field %}
                  {{ radio.tag|add_class:"some-class" }}
                  {{ radio.choice_label }}
{% endfor %}

I second this! Im using MultipleChoiceField and would like to customize each item.

@sevetseh28 Hello! I also use MultipleChoiceField in my form. How you fixed your problem with customization in template?

[autoferrit]

I have this issues as well. Was choice fields ever given support? For now I am just detecting the field type and handling it appropriately. It is kind of ugly but works.

{% load widget_tweaks %}

{% for hidden_field in form.hidden_fields %}
  {{ hidden_field }}
{% endfor %}

{% if form.non_field_errors %}
  <div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
    {% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
      {{ error }}
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endif %}

{% for field in form.visible_fields %}

    {% if form.is_bound %}
      {% if field.errors %}

        {% if field|field_type == 'choicefield' %}
          {% render_field field class="form-control is-invalid custom-select my-2" %}
        {% else %}
          {% render_field field class="form-control is-invalid" placeholder=field.help_text %}
        {% endif %}
        {% for error in field.errors %}
          <div class="invalid-feedback">
            {{ error }}
          </div>
        {% endfor %}
      {% else %}
        {% if field|field_type == 'choicefield' %}
          {% render_field field class="form-control is-valid custom-select my-2" %}
        {% else %}
          {% render_field field class="form-control is-valid" %}
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% else %}
      {% if field|field_type == 'choicefield' %}
        {% render_field field class="custom-select my-2" %}
      {% else %}
        {% render_field field placeholder=field.help_text %}
      {% endif %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

I did it like this, seems to work fine:

 <div class="form-group col-md-6">
    <label>Species</label>
    <select id="species{{ class.id }}" class="form-control">
        {% for option in class_form.species %}
            {% if option.choice_label == class.species|title %}
                <option value="{{ option.choice_label|lower }}" selected>{{ option.choice_label }}</option>
            {% else %}
                {{ option }}
            {% endif %}
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
</div>

Can anyone confirm that this sort of thing is still required for select fields?

[johncronan]

There's no workaround for this that I can find. @autoferrit's response is not accessing the subwidgets, and @masystems' response is using a select menu. We're talking about fields with a widget that has more than one subwidget, like RadioSelect or CheckboxSelectMultiple.

I think there's a fairly minimal fix. When widget_tweaks sees a BoundWidget instead of a BoundField, the method to wrap would be tag(), rather than as_widget(). @jazzband, will you accept a PR for this?

[johncronan]

See the attached for an implementation. I guess I'll put in a PR, at some point.

Ping! I have the same problem. Any update?

[alfonsrv]

Still relevant – PR has been available for a while now: #122

I'm also trying to do this.
