add_class on label

[kevinmickey]

It would be nice to have add_class be able to accept field labels.

Or just {{ form.field.label_tag|add_class='control-label' }} like the bootstrap requires.
The label_tag is a django method used to render the label.

Update:
I did this to make it work:

# Templatetags files
@register.filter("add_label_class")
@silence_without_field
def add_label_class(field, css_class):
    return field.label_tag(attrs={'class': css_class})

# html
{{ form.field|add_label_class:'control-label' }} 

This renders: <label for="id_field" class="control-label">Field</label>

Another solution is to render <field></field> tag manually. Something like this:

<div class="form-group row">
    <label for="{{ form.make.auto_id }}" class="col-sm-3 col-form-label">{{ form.make.label }}</label>
    <div class="col-sm-9">
        {% render_field form.make class+='form-control' %}
        {% include 'common/partials/field-errors.html' with errors=form.make.errors %}
    </div>
</div>

@resurtm I am using something similar to your solution... can you share what you're including with {% include 'common/partials/field-errors.html' with errors=form.make.errors %} ?

[resurtm]

@treyd, oh there is nothing special inside:

{% if errors %}
    <div class="invalid-feedback">
        {% for error in errors %}
            {{ error }}
        {% endfor %}
    </div>
{% endif %}

@camilonova This is all great, any ideas on when the next release will be out? :) Would love to use this in a new project I'm working on.

I'll see if I can make a release real quick
