How can we give placeholder for a float field in django forms?

Question

Is is possible to give placeholder for a float field in django forms?

I know that We can easily give placeholder for a char field in django like below,

materials_name = forms.CharField(required=False,max_length=200,label= "Material Name", widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Material name'}))

Like this how can i give placeholder for a float field in django forms?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can do it in the same way:

materials_float = forms.FloatField(required=False,label= "Material Name", widget=forms.NumberInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Material float'}))

Or:

materials_decimal = forms.DecimalField(required=False,label= "Material Name", widget=forms.NumberInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Material decimal'}))

just change Field

UPDATE: As @olofom requested, the widget has been replaced by NumberInput to render to number field in HTML
