Supercharge Your Django Frontend with Vite: A Modern Boilerplate

Show & Tell
1

Hi fellow Django developers

Unlike Laravel or Rails, Django doesn’t provide official guidance on modern frontend integration.

So I built django-vite-boilerplate, an open-source project that brings modern frontend tooling to Django with just one command:

python manage.py vite_init

You can choose your stacks and everything would be setup:

  • JS: HTMX + Alpine.js, Vanilla.js, or Hotwire
  • CSS: Tailwind, DaisyUI, or Bootstrap

Plus, it includes auto-reload in development - no more manual refreshing when you edit code!

React, Vue support will come soon!

Hope it can help developers here.
