django-bridge 0.4

The simple way to build Django applications with modern React frontends

With Django Bridge, you can create fast, user-friendly single-page-applications and use all components available in the React ecosystem while keeping all application logic in Django.

Django Bridge applications use Django’s built-in URL routing and views, allowing you to build your backend like a regular Django app and render the frontend with React components instead of Django templates.

The package contains a Django middleware and a small (11KB) frontend library that handles the data fetching and adapting Python objects into JavaScript.
