This module gives you a DateField same as Django’s DateField but you can get and query data based on Jalali Date
pip install django_jalali
- Run :
$ django-admin.py startproject jalali_test
- Start your app :
$ python manage.py startapp foo
Edit settings.py and add django_jalali and your foo to your INSTALLED_APPS (also config DATABASES setting)
django_jalali should be added before your apps in order to work properly
Edit foo/models.py
from django.db import models
from django_jalali.db import models as jmodels
class Bar(models.Model):
objects = jmodels.jManager()
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
date = jmodels.jDateField()
def __str__(self):
return "%s, %s"%(self.name, self.date)
class BarTime(models.Model):
objects = jmodels.jManager()
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
datetime = jmodels.jDateTimeField()
def __str__(self):
return "%s, %s" %(self.name, self.datetime)

- You can use jformat filter to format your dates in templates:
{% load jformat %}
{{ my_date|jformat }} {# default formatting #}
{{ my_date|jformat:"%A %d %B %Y %H:%M" }} {# specific formatting #}
- Create foo/admin.py
from foo.models import Bar,BarTime
from django.contrib import admin
from django_jalali.admin.filters import JDateFieldListFilter
#you need import this for adding jalali calander widget
import django_jalali.admin as jadmin
class BarAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_filter = (
('date', JDateFieldListFilter),
)
admin.site.register(Bar, BarAdmin)
class BarTimeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_filter = (
('datetime', JDateFieldListFilter),
)
admin.site.register(BarTime, BarTimeAdmin)
- Config admin interface and fire up your django and enjoy using jalali date !
In order to get the date string in farsi you need to set the locale to fa_IR
There are two ways to do achieve that, you can use of the approaches based on your needs
- Run server with LC_ALL env:
$ LC_ALL=fa_IR python manage.py runserver
- Set the locale in settings.py
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fa-ir'
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fa_IR.UTF-8")
From django_jalali version 3 and Django 2 you can use TIME_ZONE
and USE_TZ
settings to save datetime with project timezone
