I'm on my first Django project for work so take what I said with a grain of salt. But, I did do quite a bit of digging and research into how to best use django forms with HTMX, and I tried a few options, namely django-crispy-forms and django-widget-tweaks. I found the easiest solution to be django-widget-tweaks. It allows me to create all the HTML of my form and then use a simple {% render_field %} to render the field that Django created in it's forms.
