Django Implementation Complete ✅

What Was Built

1. Django Adapter (✅ Complete)

Django Template Renderer

File: src/component_framework/adapters/django_renderer.py

  • DjangoRenderer - Standard Django template rendering
  • DjangoCottonRenderer - Django-Cotton component integration
  • Pluggable rendering system
from component_framework.adapters.django_renderer import DjangoRenderer

renderer = DjangoRenderer()
Component.renderer = renderer

Django View Endpoint

File: src/component_framework/adapters/django_views.py

  • component_view() - POST endpoint for components
  • JSON and form-encoded request support
  • CSRF protection
  • Error handling
  • State serialization/deserialization
# urls.py
from component_framework.adapters.django_views import component_view

urlpatterns = [
    path("components/<str:name>/", component_view, name="component_endpoint"),
]

2. Django Model Integration (✅ Complete)

File: src/component_framework/adapters/django_model.py

DjangoModelMixin

  • get_instance() - Load model by PK
  • save_instance() - Save with transaction support
  • get_queryset() - Query optimization hook
  • validate_and_save() - Form validation integration
  • populate_state_from_instance() - State synchronization
  • update_instance_from_state() - Reverse synchronization

DjangoModelComponent

Complete model-bound component:

@registry.register("order_editor")
class OrderEditor(DjangoModelComponent):
    model = Order
    state_fields = ["status", "notes", "total"]
    select_related = ["customer"]  # Query optimization
    prefetch_related = []

    def on_save(self):
        self.update_instance_from_state()
        self.save_instance()

Features:

  • Automatic query optimization (select_related, prefetch_related)
  • Transaction support
  • Django form integration
  • Lifecycle hooks (mount, hydrate)
  • State-to-model synchronization

3. Form Component with Validation (✅ Complete)

File: src/component_framework/core/form.py

FormComponent

Generic form with Pydantic validation:

from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr
from component_framework.core import FormComponent

class ContactSchema(BaseModel):
    name: str
    email: EmailStr
    message: str

@registry.register("contact_form")
class ContactForm(FormComponent):
    schema = ContactSchema
    template_name = "contact_form.html"

    def on_submit(self):
        # self.validated_data contains validated form data
        pass

Features:

  • Pydantic schema validation
  • Field-level error messages
  • Form state management
  • Success/error handling
  • Framework-agnostic core

ModelFormComponent

Combines forms + models:

class MyForm(ModelFormComponent):
    model = MyModel
    schema = MySchema
    state_fields = ["field1", "field2"]

    def on_submit(self):
        # Automatic model save with validated data
        pass

4. WebSocket Support (✅ Complete)

Core WebSocket Manager

File: src/component_framework/core/websocket.py

  • ComponentWebSocketManager - Connection management
  • WebSocketConnection - Abstract connection interface
  • ws_manager - Global manager instance

Features:

  • Connection lifecycle management
  • Component subscriptions
  • Broadcasting to subscribers
  • Message routing
  • Server-initiated updates

FastAPI WebSocket Adapter

File: src/component_framework/adapters/fastapi_websocket.py

from fastapi import FastAPI
from component_framework.adapters.fastapi_websocket import create_websocket_route

app = FastAPI()
create_websocket_route(app)  # Adds /ws endpoint

Django Channels Adapter

File: src/component_framework/adapters/django_websocket.py

  • ComponentConsumer - Channels WebSocket consumer
  • DjangoWebSocketConnection - Connection wrapper
  • broadcast_component_update() - Helper for broadcasting
# routing.py
from component_framework.adapters.django_websocket import ComponentConsumer

application = ProtocolTypeRouter({
    "websocket": URLRouter([
        path("ws/", ComponentConsumer.as_asgi()),
    ]),
})

Usage:

# Broadcast update from anywhere
await broadcast_component_update(
    component_id="counter-123",
    html=rendered_html,
    state={"count": 42}
)

5. Django-Cotton Integration (✅ Complete)

File: src/component_framework/templatetags/components.py

Template Tags

1. {% live_component %}

{% load components %}
{% live_component "counter" initial=5 %}
{% live_component "order_form" pk=order.id %}

2. {% component_state %}

{{ state|component_state }}  {# Serializes state for HTMX #}

3. {% component_js %}

{% component_js component.id %}  {# Adds WebSocket JS #}

4. {% component_attrs %}

<button {% component_attrs component.id state %}>Click</button>

5. {% cotton_component %}

{% cotton_component "my_component" prop1="value" %}

Filters:

  • component_errors - Get field errors

6. Complete Django Example (✅ Complete)

    email: EmailStr

@registry.register("user_form")
class UserForm(FormComponent):
    schema = UserSchema

    def on_submit(self):
        # self.validated_data is populated
        user = User.objects.create(**self.validated_data)

@registry.register("todo_item")
class TodoItem(DjangoModelComponent):
    model = Todo
    state_fields = ["title", "completed"]

        self.instance.completed = not self.instance.completed
        self.save_instance()

# From a Django signal, view, or background task
@receiver(post_save, sender=Order)
async def order_updated(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    component = OrderEditor(pk=instance.pk)
    result = component.dispatch()

    await broadcast_component_update(
        component_id=f"order-{instance.pk}",
        html=result["html"],
