  • reactpy_django.router.django_router can be used to render your Django application as a SPA.
• SEO compatible rendering!
  • settings.py:REACTPY_PRERENDER can be set to True to make components pre-render by default.
  • Or, you can enable it on individual components via the template tag: {% component "..." prerender="True" %}.
• New view_to_iframe feature!
  • reactpy_django.components.view_to_iframe uses an <iframe> to render a Django view.
  • reactpy_django.utils.register_iframe tells ReactPy which views view_to_iframe can use.

  • reactpy_django.hooks.use_user_data provides a simplified interface for storing user key-value data.
  • reactpy_django.decorators.user_passes_test is inspired by the equivalent Django decorator, but ours works with ReactPy components.

Changed¶

• Renamed undocumented utility function ComponentPreloader to RootComponentFinder.
• It is now recommended to call as_view() when using view_to_component or view_to_iframe with Class Based Views.
