use create react app with django
Project description
django-create-react-app
This app helps us to integrate the react in django project through create react app template. This app works both in dev and production mode of the react.
Why django-create-react-app
- works with the asset-manifest plugin on the frontend which is used/maintained by create react app
- No Frontend code modification needed for SPA
- Dev Mode works with frontend server through http (localhost:3000)
Quick start
Install
pip install django-create-react-app
Add "create_react_app" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'create_react_app',
]
Settings Configuration
Add Build Directory in the Settings
yarn build or npm run build
This command creates the build directory inside the react app folder.
REACT_BUILD_DIRECTORY = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'app', 'react', 'build')
This is the path in which build is created
Add Below code for Collectstatic Finder to find the build folder ::
Build Directory created django needs to treat it static directory
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(REACT_BUILD_DIRECTORY, 'static'),
)
Add create react app configuration into your settings::
CREATE_REACT_APP = {
'DEFAULT': {
'BUNDLE_DIR_NAME': REACT_BUILD_DIRECTORY,
'FRONT_END_SERVER': "http://localhost:3000/",
'IS_DEV': False,
}
}
Use it in your templates ::
{% load react_bundle_loader %}
<html>
<head>
{% render_bundle_css %}
</head>
<body>
....
{% render_bundle_js %}
</body>
</head>
#Adding Multiple React Apps inside django Project
CREATE_REACT_APP = {
'DEFAULT': {
'BUNDLE_DIR_NAME': REACT_BUILD,
'FRONT_END_SERVER': "http://localhost:3000/",
'IS_DEV': False,
"PUBLIC_PATH_DEV": "http://localhost:3000/",
"PUBLIC_PATH": "/static/"
}
'ADMIN': {
'BUNDLE_DIR_NAME': REACT_BUILD,
'FRONT_END_SERVER': "http://localhost:3000/",
'IS_DEV': False,
},
}
is_dev: True
make sure react app is running on FRONT_END_SERVER on same port which is declared
is_dev: False
make sure build path is pointed to the right build directory
Rendering react admin app inside templates ::
{% load react_bundle_loader %}
<html>
<head>
{% render_bundle_css "ADMIN" %}
</head>
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
{% render_bundle_js "ADMIN" %}
</body>
</head>
Using Preloading ::
The is_preload=True option in the render_bundle_css or render_bundle_js template tag can be used to add rel="preload" link tags.
{% render_bundle_css is_preload=True %}
Add attributes
add some extra attributes to the tag
{% render_bundle_js attrib="async" %}
{% render_bundle_js attrib="disabled" %}
migration from 0.8.4 to 0.9
"is_dev" changed to "IS_DEV" is_dev in lowercase will not work
docker support
PUBLIC_PATH_DEV default value will be FRONT_END_SERVER, which will be used for incase of docker
PUBLIC_PATH_DEV will be used in case of docker to http://localhost:3000/ FRONT_END_SERVER: host.docker.internal
django storage support
change PUBLIC_PATH to storagepath e.g
PUBLIC_PATH:"https://234234234.aws.com/static/"
