Hi folks,
The ModelChoiceField
widget in djelm Is a great way to render a fancy dropdown to replace the stock standard one that Django gives us when we create forms.
It has some superpowers to let us create some pretty great user experiences and I really wanted to show a step by step guide on how one might customize it. We go from Django project creation to Elm integration and finally end up with this epic select widget.
There’s lots of Django and lots of Elm, was great fun to make and I hope it might interest folks in trying out Elm for the highly dynamic parts of their Django UI!
Check out the video here.
Thanks!
