High-flying components for perfectionists with deadlines

django-bird

High-flying components for perfectionists with deadlines.

[!CAUTION] This is an experimental, pre-alpha attempt at a different approach to defining components in Django templates. It is not suitable for production use yet.

Requirements

• Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13
• Django 4.2, 5.0, 5.1

Installation

1. Install the package from PyPI:

   python -m pip install django-bird
   
   # or if you like the new hotness
   
   uv add django-bird
   uv sync
   

2. Add the app to your Django project's INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...,
       "django_bird",
       ...,
   ]
   

3. django-bird requires two settings in your settings.TEMPLATES to be configured to work properly:

   • django_bird.templatetags.django_bird in the builtins
   • django_bird.loader.BirdLoader in the innermost list of loaders, before django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader and django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader

   By default, these should be configured for you automatically. If you would like to disable this behavior and set this up yourself, you will need to set DJANGO_BIRD["ENABLE_AUTO_CONFIG"] = False.

   # settings.py
   from pathlib import Path
   
   
   DJANGO_BIRD = {
       "ENABLE_AUTO_CONFIG": False,
   }
   
   TEMPLATES = [
       {
           "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
           "DIRS": [
               Path(__file__).parent / "templates",
           ],
           "OPTIONS": {
               "builtins": [
                   "django_bird.templatetags.django_bird",
               ],
               "loaders": [
                   (
                       "django.template.loaders.cached.Loader",
                       [
                           "django_bird.loader.BirdLoader",
                           "django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader",
                           "django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader",
                       ],
                   ),
               ],
           },
       }
   ]
