Django Quik (Livereload + Tailwindcss)

This project aims to provide extra power while developing Django applications such as livereload and tailwindcss support while you modify template, static files .etc

It is a wrapper around Django CLI, and you don't need to modify your existing code or add it in installed apps like other livereload packages.

Installation

pip install django-quik

Make sure to install this package inside the same virtual environment if your project is using. Now open url: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Usage

The main motivation for Django Quik is to provide features without modifying your any code.

django-quik runserver

You can use all the Django commands with django quik.

Setting up tailwindcss

Make sure you have installed npm in your system.

django-quik init tailwindcss

It will create two files: tailwind.config.js and tailwind.mapping after going through your project INSTALLED_APPS and TEMPLATES.

MODIFY tailwind.mapping file based on your needs.

When you run django-quik runserver, it will run with tailwind livereload support.

Does it support WebSocket?

Yes, Django Quik supports HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1, and WebSocket protocol. The HTTP/1.1 is overridden to HTTP/1.0.

How Django Quik works?

Django Quik creates the proxy server then starts Django development server internally. It acts as the middleman between the client and the Django server. If the content type is text/html being served, it injects script to reload page which will be triggered from Server Side Event(SSE).
