Djangulus

This is a very simple demonstration on how to use Django, Sass, and Stimulus 2.0 bundled using webpack.

How to use

# Install the packages
yarn install

# Run development mode. It watches for the changes
yarn start

You can import Sass files in app.scss to compose your styles. For javascript, simply define your controllers in controller folder and then use them in HTML.

Example controllers

There are examples included to show how Stimulus 2.0 values API is used to pass context variables in the templates to controllers:

<div data-controller="content-loader"
     data-content-loader-url-value="{% url 'other' %}">

    <div data-content-loader-target="container"></div>
</div>

Also an exmaple spinner controller is included and can be used whenever a loading spinner needed to be shown. In this example there is a button to toggle the spinner:

<div data-controller="spinner">
    <button data-action="click->spinner#toggle">Toggle Spinner</button>
    <div data-spinner-target="container"></div>
</div>

Frontend

There is a frontend folder where all the FE development happens there. When the project is built, the static files will be copied to the static folder in the djangulus folder.

Controllers

1. hello: Sample empty controller, copy and reuse
2. spinner: a controller to use when you want to show a loading spinner
3. content-loader: Receives a url and loads the content in the container target when it is connected. In this project it loads the content from another view.

Controller Namespaces

Stimulus supports namespacing as well. If you have a controller in controllers/folder/some_controller.js then your controller identifier would be folder--some-controller.
