## What it is
A Django app that provides a filter and template tag for rendering forms with elegant, configurable div-based HTML layouts. It lets developers build reusable, programmatic form layouts without writing HTML in templates, with support for Bootstrap, Tailwind, Bulma, and Foundation via template packs.

## Use cases
- render django forms with bootstrap styling
- build reusable form layouts without writing html
- dry django form templates
- control rendered form html programmatically
- switch form styling between css frameworks
- render forms as elegant divs instead of tables

## When to choose
- you use Django and want clean, maintainable form rendering
- you need Bootstrap/Tailwind/Bulma-styled forms with minimal template code
- you want programmatic control over form layout in Python

## When to avoid
- you don't use Django
- you need client-side form state management or validation (this only handles rendering)
- you use a non-Python backend framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: form-handling, templating, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: django, forms, bootstrap, dry, html-rendering, template-pack, web-server
