What is the Difference between this renderings

1. {{ form.mobile }}
2. {% render\_field form.mobile %}

and is this usage valid:

{% render\_field form.mobile **`required`** %}

There is no django-provided template tag called `render_field`.

You would need to check with whatever package you’re using that is providing it to determine how it may be different from directly rendering the field.

tag provided by package `django-widget-tweaks` to render forms fields.

it works so fine to pass html attributes into rendered input.  
as example we can do something like this.

{% render\_field form.mobile **`class="btn btn-danger"`**  **`required`** %}
