MUI with django framework-CodePudding

Is it possible to use mui with a django framework? I would like to keep it server-side using django. I know typically mui is built with client side rendering by using a react library. I did find a cdn library in muicss.com but i'm afraid this library is outdated. I would like to use the current version 5.0 and all of it's classes/components. Any ideas?

CodePudding user response：

There's an official Material UI "MUI" project for the web which will help you build HTML web components using Server-Side Rendering with a CDN version of MUI.

References for Material components for the web:

You can benefit from that by adding the HTML for example the below "home.html" into your Django views and, rendering the HTML template using Django template & context with the help of MUI CSS/JS components. There's a complete list of the available MUI packages/components in the Github repo.

Example home.html:

!-- Required styles for Material Web -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web@latest/dist/material-components-web.min.css">
<h1>Hello {{ dummy_context }}</h1> <!-- Render Django Context -->
<!-- Render textfield component -->
<label >
  <span ></span>
  <span  id="my-label">Label</span>
  <input type="text"  aria-labelledby="my-label">
  <span ></span>
</label>

<!-- Required Material Web JavaScript library -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/material-components-web@latest/dist/material-components-web.min.js"></script>
<!-- Instantiate single textfield component rendered in the document -->
<script>
  mdc.textField.MDCTextField.attachTo(document.querySelector('.mdc-text-field'));
</script>

views.py:

from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView

class HomePageView(TemplateView):

    template_name = "home.html"

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['dummy_context'] = "This is a dummy context"
        return context

urls.py:

from django.urls import path

from myapp.views import HomePageView

urlpatterns = [
    path('', HomePageView.as_view(), name='home'),
]
