Create a React on Django App

The package ships with both a reference example in example/ and starter management commands.

Recommended starting points:

  • run manage.py react_install for the starter JavaScript layout
  • run manage.py react_generate for new component scaffolds
  • copy the example bundle layout under app/javascript/
  • copy the Django settings seam for django-rspack
  • copy the example process scripts:
    • example/bin/dev
    • example/bin/prod
    • example/bin/test-ci

Minimum directories:

your-project/
  app/javascript/components/
  app/javascript/packs/
  public/packs/manifest.json
  templates/

Starter command examples:

python manage.py react_install
python manage.py react_generate dashboard-card
python manage.py react_generate posts-feed --rsc

The example app is still the reference for richer flows such as shared stores, streaming shells, and the current RSC demos.
