django custom form template checkbox question

Django forms are really easy and nice to style especially if you like to take control of the outcom开发者_C百科e.

A question. Is there anyway you can see whether the {{ field }} type, ie checkbox, radio etc?

you could create a field_type template filter

{{ field|field_type }} = CharField 
{{ field|widget_type }} = TextInput

heres a great example :
