Django JS Tools

Django.js provides tools for JavaScript development with Django.

Django.js is inspired from:

• Miguel Araujo’s verbatim snippet.

• Dimitri Gnidash’s django-js-utils.

This is currently a work in progress (API wil not be stable before 1.0) so don’t expect it to be perfect but please submit an issue for any bug you find or any feature you want.

Compatibility

Django.js requires Python 2.7 and Django 1.4.

Installation

You can install Django.JS with pip:

$ pip install django.js

or with easy_install:

$ easy_install django.js

Add djangojs to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Add djangojs.urls to your root URL_CONF:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'^djangojs/', include('djangojs.urls')),
    ...
)
