django-vite examples

Example Django apps showcasing how to use django-vite v3.

Install

All of the example demos run on Docker. Build the images with:

make build

Examples

1. Legacy Settings

This demo demonstrates backwards compatibility with legacy DJANGO_VITE_* settings from django-vite v2 and earlier versions.

Documentation: README.md
Run the Demo:
```
make legacy-settings-demo
```
Access the Demo: http://localhost:8001/
Quick Glance: settings.py

2. New Settings (v3)

This demo shows how to run a single django-vite app using the new DJANGO_VITE={...} settings from django-vite v3 and higher. Everything else in the setup is identical to the legacy-settings demo.

Documentation: README.md
Run the Demo:
```
make new-settings-demo
```
Access the Demo: http://localhost:8002/
Quick Glance: settings.py

3. Multi-App

This demo shows django-vite loading assets from 4 different vite apps.

Documentation: README.md

Run the Demo:

make build-multi-app-demo
make multi-app-demo

Access the Demo: http://localhost:8003/

This demo loads assets from 4 different vite apps:

The default app is running on a vite dev server with dev_mode=True.
vite_app_1 app is also running on a vite dev server with dev_mode=True.
vite_app_2 app has already been compiled in a production build. Those assets are being served from the STATIC_ROOT with dev_mode=False.
vite_app_3 app has also been compiled in a production build. Those assets are being served from the STATIC_ROOT with dev_mode=False.

Noteworthy differences between the multi-app setup and the other demos:

settings.py has the DJANGO_VITE settings that enable multiple apps.
index.html shows how to load assets from multiple vite apps.
vite_app_1/vite.config.js shows how I'm using static_url_prefix for directing build output and dev server routing.

Bug Report

There's 1 bug I've found with this demo: I'm not able to make HMR work on 2 different vite dev servers if they're both trying to update assets on the same page. Only one vite app will get changes registered to it in real time.

Realistically, a developer is unlikely to be working on more than 1 vite app with dev_mode=True on the same page. But it may still be worth investigating.
