Hello,

This is a request for code reuse.

The many to many picker widget is available via the admin interface, but
I need to put it on a form that users access. I asked on stackoverflow,
but no one has answered.

[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48040322/django-where-is-the-many-to-
many-picker-widget]

I upload a picture of the widget I have in mind.

Is there a way to reuse the code for this widget?

Thanks,

Comment (by Dev Aggarwal):

you can use the widget from
{{{
from django.forms.widgets import SelectMultiple
}}}

The filter_horizontal / filter_vertical widget is accessible from
{{{
from django.contrib.admin.widgets import FilteredSelectMultiple
}}}

Fun Fact- I found this out using pycharm. Tracked the widgets of the
ModelForm using it's Go To Declaration Feature

Comment:

`FilteredSelectMultiple` isn't available in `django.forms` because it
relies on jQuery and we want to avoid coupling generally available form
widgets to a specific JavaScript library. You can use the widget as
suggested in the previous comment, but be aware that backwards
compatibility isn't guaranteed.
