A zero-fuss way to create non single page apps with react.
Project description
React Pages
A zero-fuss way to create non single page apps with react.
- Zero Configuration required. Mostly thanks to create-react-app.
- Custom react scripts inbuilt.
- Cross-page import (create-react-app doesn't allow this).
- Ready-to-serve production builds with the proper paths. (using
--static-url
option) - Natively use react in django.
- Go from development to production with ease.
- Caches npm stuff. You'll notice that the command
react-pages project
runs much after the 1st time.
Terminology
Project
The project contains the node.js modules necessary to use react and the pages you create.
└── my_project
├── package.json
├── package-lock.json
├── .env
├── .gitignore
├── public
│ ├── favicon.ico
│ ├── index.html
│ └── manifest.json
<pages>
Page:
A page is a directory containing at least an index.js
file, (and other css/js files specific to your application.)
└── my_page
├── App.css
├── App.js
├── App.test.js
├── index.css
├── index.js
├── logo.svg
└── registerServiceWorker.js
QuickStart
You need npm on your machine!
pip install react-pages
Commands :
$ react-pages project my_project # create a project
$ cd my_project # Don't forget to do this!
$ react-pages page my_page # create a page
$ react-pages develop # development
$ react-pages deploy # production
$ react-pages runserver # django runserver alternative
Django Integration
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'react_pages',
...
]
# React Pages
REACT_PAGES_PROJECT_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'my_project') # specify the react-pages project
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
...
os.path.join(REACT_PAGES_PROJECT_DIR, 'build') # mark the build dir as static file dir
...
]
template.html
{% load react_pages %}
...
{% render_react_page 'my_page' %}
...
Remember to use react-pages runserver
instead of manage.py runserver
!
That's it! React Pages will pick-up the "my_page" page from "my_project" project and do the necessary work to transpire react JSX.
Django Context
You can pass django template context varialbes like so -
views.py
context['py_numbers'] = [1, 2, 3]
template.html
{% render_react_page 'my_page' js_numbers=py_numbers %}
Then access these anywhere in JS
console.log(js_numbers);
Note: These must be JSON serialize-able
For production, just put DEBUG=False
in settings.py
and relax.
Existing projects
React Pages will automatically patch itsef into any existing project,
that was created using create-react-app
.
Just run react-pages project .
from your project directory!
Projects not using create-react-app
will probably work,
but no guarantees can be made.
Issues
-
It might not uninstall using pip.
This is a side-effect of react-page's caching.
As a temporary fix, Runreact-pages clear-cache
, and thenpip uninstall react-pages
will work as expected.
