Cannot set Default country

[Sharad Bhandari]

In forms.py

from django_countries.widgets import CountrySelectWidget
from django import forms 
from enroll.models import Person

class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Person
        fields = ('name', 'country')
        widgets = {'country': CountrySelectWidget()}

Returns : Select Country by default

In models.py

from django.db import models
from django_countries.fields import CountryField

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100,)
    country = CountryField(blank_label='(select country)',blank=True)
    
    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

Setting a default on the CountryField removes the blank choice.

See favourite_country example here:

Lines 7 to 14 in 9d433ad

 class Person(models.Model): 
     name = models.CharField(max_length=50) 
     country = CountryField() 
     other_country = CountryField( 
         blank=True, countries_flag_url="//flags.example.com/{code}.gif" 
     ) 
     str_attr_country = CountryField(blank=True, countries_str_attr="name") 
     favourite_country = CountryField(default="NZ") 

Tested here:

django-countries/django_countries/tests/test_fields.py

Lines 622 to 626 in 9d433ad

 def test_no_blank_choice(self): 
     form = forms.PersonForm() 
     self.assertEqual( 
         form.fields["favourite_country"].choices[0], ("AF", "Afghanistan") 
     )
