I am trying to use Django's default select widget to render an HTML dropdown. I have this code:
in models.py:
class VehicleYear(TimeStampedModel):
oem_year = models.IntegerField(
unique=True, null=False, blank=False, default=current_year, validators=[
MinValueValidator(1900), max_value_current_year])
in forms.py:
class SelectYear(forms.Form):
vehicle_year = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=VehicleYear.objects.all(), label="Select Year")
in views.py:
def Year(request):
context = {'form': SelectYear()}
return render(request, 'vehicles/select_year.html', context)
in my HTML template (select_year.html):
{{ form.as_p }}
select_year.html is part of select_filter.html, which uses
{% include "folder/select_year.html" %}.
