2The "local flavor" add-ons
3==========================
4
5Django comes with assorted pieces of code that are useful only for a
6particular country or culture. These pieces of code are organized as a
7set of subpackages, named using `ISO 3166 country codes`_.
8
9.. _ISO 3166 country codes: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm
10
11Most of the ``localflavor`` add-ons are localized form components deriving
12from the newforms_ framework. To use one of these localized components,
13just import the relevant subpackage. For example, a form with a field for
14French telephone numbers is created like so::
15
16 from django import newforms as forms
17 from django.contrib.localflavor import fr
18
19 class MyForm(forms.Form):
20 my_french_phone_no = fr.forms.FRPhoneNumberField()
21
22Countries currently supported by ``localflavor`` are:

66The ``localflavor`` add-on also includes the ``generic`` subpackage,
67containing useful code that is not specific to one particular country or
68culture. Currently, it defines date and date & time input fields based on
69those from newforms_, but with non-US default formats. Here's an example of
70how to use them::
71
72 from django import newforms as forms
73 from django.contrib.localflavor import generic
74
75 class MyForm(forms.Form):
76 my_date_field = generic.forms.DateField()
77
78.. _newforms: ../newforms/

81.. admonition:: Adding a Flavor
82
83 We'd love to add more of these to Django, so please create a ticket for
84 anything that you've found useful. Please use unicode objects
85 (``u'mystring'``) for strings, rather than setting the encoding in the
86 file (see any of the existing flavors for examples).
