django datepicker format change - django

Question

Im trying to change the datepicker format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd-mm-yyyy. So far I've added DATE_INPUT_FORMATS in settings.py to ['%d-%m-%Y'], but this didnt change anything. I also changing it via jquery based on proposed solution in this site but it didnt help also.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#datepicker').datepicker({ dateFormat: 'dd-mm-yy' });
});
</script>
Its quite a trivial problem but I cant seem to find a way how to solve it.
forms.py
class Calendar(forms.DateInput):
input_type = 'date'
class AdForm(forms.ModelForm):
time_limit = forms.DateInput(format=['%d-%m-%Y'])
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['time_limit'].widget.attrs.update({'class': 'form-control mb-3 datepicker'})
class Meta:
model = Ad
fields = ('time_limit')
widgets = {
'time_limit': Calendar(),
}
The result is still as such:

Answer 1

You can customize the DATE_INPUT_FORMATS creating a formats folder under your main project dir and then adding a custon format file for each language you need as describer in the official Django doc.
You can see how to customize the FORMAT_MODULE_PATH and what is the full list of the (editable) available formats here.
Sample folder structure to edit the english format:
mysite/
formats/
__init__.py
en/
__init__.py
formats.py
And then the formats.py
DATE_FORMAT = 'j N, Y'
In the settings.py file
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'
USE_L10N = True
FORMAT_MODULE_PATH = [
'my_app.formats',
]
