Exploring the use of crispy tags to create a user registration form within a Django application. Below are snippets from various files to guide you:
Settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'blog.apps.BlogConfig',
'users.apps.UsersConfig',
'crispy_forms',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
HTML File
{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.first_name|crispy}}
{{form.last_name|crispy}}
{{form.username|crispy}}
{{form.email}}
{{form.password1|crispy}}
{{form.password2|crispy}}
Additional statements about CSS and HTML styling have been omitted as they are not directly relevant to this discussion. It's worth mentioning that custom styling has been applied to the input fields in the form.
Form.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class UserRegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
first_name = forms.CharField()
last_name = forms.CharField()
email = forms.EmailField()
username = forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Username'})
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['first_name','last_name', 'username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']

The primary reason for utilizing crispy forms is to enhance input validation and provide customized warning messages for erroneous submissions in the registration form. A helpful resource or article on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated, as my search efforts have been inconclusive.
