django-components/django-components: Create simple reusable template components in Django.

django-components is a modular and extensible UI framework for Django.

It combines Django's templating system with the modularity seen in modern frontend frameworks like Vue or React.

With django-components you can support Django projects small and large without leaving the Django ecosystem.

A component in django-components can be as simple as a Django template and Python code to declare the component:

{# components/calendar/calendar.html #}
<div class="calendar">
  Today's date is <span>{{ date }}</span>
</div>

# components/calendar/calendar.py
from django_components import Component, register

@register("calendar")
class Calendar(Component):
    template_file = "calendar.html"

Or a combination of Django template, Python, CSS, and Javascript:

{# components/calendar/calendar.html #}
<div class="calendar">
  Today's date is <span>{{ date }}</span>
</div>

/* components/calendar/calendar.css */
.calendar {
  width: 200px;
  background: pink;
}

/* components/calendar/calendar.js */
document.querySelector(".calendar").onclick = () => {
  alert("Clicked calendar!");
};

# components/calendar/calendar.py
from django_components import Component, register

@register("calendar")
class Calendar(Component):
    template_file = "calendar.html"
    js_file = "calendar.js"
    css_file = "calendar.css"

    def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
        return {"date": kwargs["date"]}

Use the component like this:

{% component "calendar" date="2024-11-06" %}{% endcomponent %}

And this is what gets rendered:

<div class="calendar-component">
  Today's date is <span>2024-11-06</span>
</div>

Read on to learn about all the exciting details and configuration possibilities!

(If you instead prefer to jump right into the code, check out the example project)

• Create self-contained, reusable UI elements.
• Each component can include its own HTML, CSS, and JS, or additional third-party JS and CSS.
• HTML, CSS, and JS can be defined on the component class, or loaded from files.

from django_components import Component

@register("calendar")
class Calendar(Component):
    template = """
        <div class="calendar">
            Today's date is
            <span>{{ date }}</span>
        </div>
    """

    css = """
        .calendar {
            width: 200px;
            background: pink;
        }
    """

    js = """
        document.querySelector(".calendar")
            .addEventListener("click", () => {
                alert("Clicked calendar!");
            });
    """

    # Additional JS and CSS
    class Media:
        js = ["https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/htmx.org@2/dist/htmx.min.js"]
        css = ["bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"]

    # Variables available in the template
    def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
        return {
            "date": kwargs["date"]
        }

• Render components inside templates with {% component %} tag.
• Compose them with {% slot %} and {% fill %} tags.
• Vue-like slot system, including scoped slots.

{% component "Layout"
    bookmarks=bookmarks
    breadcrumbs=breadcrumbs
%}
    {% fill "header" %}
        <div class="flex justify-between gap-x-12">
            <div class="prose">
                <h3>{{ project.name }}</h3>
            </div>
            <div class="font-semibold text-gray-500">
                {{ project.start_date }} - {{ project.end_date }}
            </div>
        </div>
    {% endfill %}

    {# Access data passed to `{% slot %}` with `data` #}
    {% fill "tabs" data="tabs_data" %}
        {% component "TabItem" header="Project Info" %}
            {% component "ProjectInfo"
                project=project
                project_tags=project_tags
                attrs:class="py-5"
                attrs:width=tabs_data.width
            / %}
        {% endcomponent %}
    {% endfill %}
{% endcomponent %}

django-components is designed for flexibility, making working with templates a breeze.

It extends Django's template tags syntax with:

• Literal lists and dictionaries in the template
• Self-closing tags {% mytag / %}
• Multi-line template tags
• Spread operator ... to dynamically pass args or kwargs into the template tag
• Template tags inside literal strings like "{{ first_name }} {{ last_name }}"
• Pass dictonaries by their key-value pairs attr:key=val

{% component "table"
    ...default_attrs
    title="Friend list for {{ user.name }}"
    headers=["Name", "Age", "Email"]
    data=[
        {
            "name": "John"|upper,
            "age": 30|add:1,
            "email": "john@example.com",
            "hobbies": ["reading"],
        },
        {
            "name": "Jane"|upper,
            "age": 25|add:1,
            "email": "jane@example.com",
            "hobbies": ["reading", "coding"],
        },
    ],
    attrs:class="py-4 ma-2 border-2 border-gray-300 rounded-md"
/ %}

You too can define template tags with these features by using @template_tag() or BaseNode.

Read more on Custom template tags.

When you render a component, you can access everything about the component:

• Component input: args, kwargs, slots and context
• Component's template, CSS and JS
• Django's context processors
• Unique render ID

class Table(Component):
    js_file = "table.js"
    css_file = "table.css"

    template = """
        <div class="table">
            <span>{{ variable }}</span>
        </div>
    """

    def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
        # Access component's ID
        assert self.id == "djc1A2b3c"

        # Access component's inputs and slots
        assert self.args == [123, "str"]
        assert self.kwargs == {"variable": "test", "another": 1}
        footer_slot = self.slots["footer"]
        some_var = self.context["some_var"]

        # Access the request object and Django's context processors, if available
        assert self.request.GET == {"query": "something"}
        assert self.context_processors_data['user'].username == "admin"

        return {
            "variable": kwargs["variable"],
        }

# Access component's HTML / JS / CSS
Table.template
Table.js
Table.css

# Render the component
rendered = Table.render(
    kwargs={"variable": "test", "another": 1},
    args=(123, "str"),
    slots={"footer": "MY_FOOTER"},
)

Use the {% html_attrs %} template tag to render HTML attributes.

It supports:

• Defining attributes as whole dictionaries or keyword arguments
• Merging attributes from multiple sources
• Boolean attributes
• Appending attributes
• Removing attributes
• Defining default attributes

<div
    {% html_attrs
        attrs
        defaults:class="default-class"
        class="extra-class"
    %}
>

{% html_attrs %} offers a Vue-like granular control for class and style HTML attributes, where you can use a dictionary to manage each class name or style property separately.

{% html_attrs
    class="foo bar"
    class={
        "baz": True,
        "foo": False,
    }
    class="extra"
%}

{% html_attrs
    style="text-align: center; background-color: blue;"
    style={
        "background-color": "green",
        "color": None,
        "width": False,
    }
    style="position: absolute; height: 12px;"
%}

django-components makes integration with HTMX, AlpineJS or jQuery easy by allowing components to be rendered as HTML fragments:

• Components's JS and CSS files are loaded automatically when the fragment is inserted into the DOM.

• Components can be exposed as Django Views with get(), post(), put(), patch(), delete() methods

• Automatically create an endpoint for a component with Component.View.public

# components/calendar/calendar.py
@register("calendar")
class Calendar(Component):
    template_file = "calendar.html"

    class View:
        # Register Component with `urlpatterns`
        public = True

        # Define handlers
        def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
            page = request.GET.get("page", 1)
            return self.component.render_to_response(
                request=request,
                kwargs={
                    "page": page,
                },
            )

    def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
        return {
            "page": kwargs["page"],
        }

# Get auto-generated URL for the component
url = get_component_url(Calendar)

# Or define explicit URL in urls.py
path("calendar/", Calendar.as_view())

django-components supports the provide / inject pattern, similarly to React's Context Providers or Vue's provide / inject:

• Use the {% provide %} tag to provide data to the component tree
• Use the Component.inject() method to inject data into the component

Read more about Provide / Inject.

<body>
    {% provide "theme" variant="light" %}
        {% component "header" / %}
    {% endprovide %}
</body>

@register("header")
class Header(Component):
    template = "..."

    def get_template_data(self, args, kwargs, slots, context):
        theme = self.inject("theme").variant
        return {
            "theme": theme,
        }

Avoid needless errors with type hints and runtime input validation.

To opt-in to input validation, define types for component's args, kwargs, slots, and more:

from typing import NamedTuple, Optional
from django.template import Context
from django_components import Component, Slot, SlotInput

class Button(Component):
    class Args(NamedTuple):
        size: int
        text: str

    class Kwargs(NamedTuple):
        variable: str
        another: int
        maybe_var: Optional[int] = None  # May be omitted

    class Slots(NamedTuple):
        my_slot: Optional[SlotInput] = None
        another_slot: SlotInput

    def get_template_data(self, args: Args, kwargs: Kwargs, slots: Slots, context: Context):
        args.size  # int
        kwargs.variable  # str
        slots.my_slot  # Slot[MySlotData]

To have type hints when calling Button.render() or Button.render_to_response(), wrap the inputs in their respective Args, Kwargs, and Slots classes:

Button.render(
    # Error: First arg must be `int`, got `float`
    args=Button.Args(
        size=1.25,
        text="abc",
    ),
    # Error: Key "another" is missing
    kwargs=Button.Kwargs(
        variable="text",
    ),
)

Django-components functionality can be extended with Extensions. Extensions allow for powerful customization and integrations. They can:

• Tap into lifecycle events, such as when a component is created, deleted, or registered
• Add new attributes and methods to the components
• Add custom CLI commands
• Add custom URLs

Some of the extensions include:

• Component caching
• Django View integration
• Component defaults
• Pydantic integration (input validation)

Some of the planned extensions include:

• AlpineJS integration
• Storybook integration
• Component-level benchmarking with asv

• Components can be cached using Django's cache framework.
• Caching rules can be configured on a per-component basis.
• Components are cached based on their input. Or you can write custom caching logic.

from django_components import Component

class MyComponent(Component):
    class Cache:
        enabled = True
        ttl = 60 * 60 * 24  # 1 day

        def hash(self, *args, **kwargs):
            return hash(f"{json.dumps(args)}:{json.dumps(kwargs)}")

• Write tests for components with @djc_test decorator.
• The decorator manages global state, ensuring that tests don't leak.
• If using pytest, the decorator allows you to parametrize Django or Components settings.
• The decorator also serves as a stand-in for Django's @override_settings.

from django_components.testing import djc_test

from components.my_table import MyTable

@djc_test
def test_my_table():
    rendered = MyTable.render(
        kwargs={
            "title": "My table",
        },
    )
    assert rendered == "<table>My table</table>"

• Visual component inspection: Highlight components and slots directly in your browser.
• Detailed tracing logs to supply AI-agents with context: The logs include component and slot names and IDs, and their position in the tree.

• Install and use third-party components from PyPI

• Or publish your own "component registry"

• Highly customizable - Choose how the components are called in the template (and more):

  {% component "calendar" date="2024-11-06" %}
  {% endcomponent %}
  
  {% calendar date="2024-11-06" %}
  {% endcalendar %}
