Django django_filters DateFilter customization

[Mayank Tripathi]

Hi All,

I am look for a solution where I can restrict the user to select date from current month only instead of selecting any other month or year.

Currently user can select past month as well, have to restrict for current month only in date picker.

Please help.

Below is the code.

filters.py file screenshot is as below.

It seems like the HTML date input field has attributes for setting the
min and max value:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date#additional_attributes

Setting these attributes to the first and last day of the month for the
widget ought to work:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/forms/widgets/#django.forms.Widget.attrs

Of course, you still need to ensure that the client doesn't send an
invalid/unexpected date.

I haven't tested this, but that's what I'd try to do at least.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards,

Thanks Kasper,

Will try the suggested option. 

Meanwhile, do you know how to get the documentation for danjo_filters DateFilter() method, and want to know what all parameters it can accept. Usually we do pass  field_name; lookup_expr; label , just curious if we could pass attrs as we pass in forms.Modelform.

I did try checking the document from https://django-filter.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ref/filters.html#datefilter, but there its not mentioned. 

Please direct me to the right direction.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks Kasper,

I utilized the suggestion you shared, and implemented it with a custom template tag, and now am able to restrict it.
