dj-design-system
DjDS is a Django-native approach to writing front end components that are exposed as templatetags. It comes with an auto-generated, customisable, live interactive gallery of your UI components that lives alongside your Django project.
Components are recognisably Django elements; they look and work like Models or Forms. The gallery auto-discovers them, renders live previews in sandboxed iframes, generates templatetag usage examples, and builds a searchable navigation tree — all from your existing code and docstrings.
Quick start
pip install dj-design-system
Then follow the quickstart guide to register your first component.
