Django Bridge

Django Bridge lets you build React applications with Django views.

Use Django views, URLs, and forms to build single page applications
Render your frontend with React using any component library or styling framework
No REST API or GraphQL layer needed — views return everything a page needs in one request
Works with Django middleware, auth, forms, and extensions like django-allauth
Hot-reloading in development for fast iteration
Serialize Python objects (including forms and widgets) directly into React props

Example

A Django view returns a response specifying which React component to render and what props to pass:

from django_bridge import Response

def form_view(request):
    form = MyForm(request.POST or None)

    if form.is_valid():
        # Form submission logic here

    return Response(request, "FormView", {
        "action_url": reverse("form"),
        "form": form,
    })

The React component receives those props and renders the page:

function FormView({ action_url, form }) {
    return (
      <Layout>
        <h1>A Django form rendered with React</h1>

        <Form action={action_url} method="post">
          {form.render()}
          <button type="submit">Submit</button>
        </Form>
      </Layout>
    );
}
