Built by Charing Cross Capital
Build interactive Django apps without splitting your product into "backend API + SPA frontend".
HyperDjango keeps rendering and business logic on the server, then layers in partial swaps, signals, and transitions for SPA-like UX.
For full API reference, guides, and interactive examples, please visit hyperdjango.charingcrosscapital.com.
- Keep business logic in Django, not duplicated across REST + frontend app layers.
- Get SPA-like interactions (partial swaps, toasts, transitions) with HTML as the transport.
- Organize by feature using file-based routes and co-located templates/assets in a
hyper/directory.
pip install hyperdjango
python manage.py hyper_scaffoldSee the Installation guide for details.
A full runnable demo lives in example/. See example/README.md for instructions.
We welcome contributions. HyperDjango requires Python 3.13 or later. The project
uses a PEP 735 dev dependency group (currently containing the test tools), not
a dev optional extra, so pip install -e .[dev] is not valid.
Clone the repository and enter it:
git clone https://github.com/charingcrosscapital/hyperdjango.git
cd hyperdjangouv reads the committed lockfile and installs the project plus its development
dependency group:
uv sync --group dev
uv run pytestThe end-to-end runtime suite uses the example project and requires Node.js 20
or later. Install its dependencies and Chromium, then run it from example/:
cd example
npm ci
npx playwright install chromium
npm run test:browserCreate a virtual environment, update to pip 25.1 or later, and install the
editable project with its dev dependency group:
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e . --group dev
