When you save changes to Python code, templates, or static files, the script receives a server-sent event and automatically reloads the most recently active browser tab, eliminating the need for manual refresh.\n\nThe package works by establishing a persistent EventSource connection from a SharedWorker in your browser to a Django view. When Django's autoreload system detects file changes or the server restarts, the view sends events that trigger a reload. It supports both WSGI and ASGI, works with Django's Content Security Policy middleware on version 6.0+, and can be deployed via middleware for automatic injection or via template tags for selective page control.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a low-friction development tool with no security vulnerabilities, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and minimal dependencies. It directly addresses a common Django developer pain point\u2014manual browser refresh during iteration\u2014and is mature enough for production-grade development workflows. Install it in any Django 4.2+ project running on Python 3.9+ where you want faster feedback loops during local development."},"id":"django-browser-reload","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-browser-reload","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-browser-reload.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-browser-reload/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-22","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-browser-reload","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Automatically refresh your browser on changes to Python code, templates, or static files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":665589,"position":5429,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.21.0"}
