It provides template tags to load JavaScript and CSS assets, with automatic hot module replacement (HMR) during development and manifest-based asset resolution in production. The package handles the communication between Django's template layer and Vite's dev server or compiled manifest, letting you write modern ES6 modules and use Vite's fast rebuild cycles without leaving Django.\n\nThe package is configured through Django settings and works by either serving assets directly from Vite's dev server in development mode (enabling HMR) or reading a manifest.json file in production to resolve compiled asset paths. It supports custom attributes on script tags, React refresh, and loading assets from CDNs via custom manifest clients. The single runtime dependency is Django itself.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Django project with modern JavaScript and want Vite's development experience (fast rebuilds, HMR) without ejecting from Django. The package is stable, has low install friction, and carries no security vulnerabilities. The aging maintenance status is not a blocker\u2014the last commit was recent (2025-05-09) and the package is relatively simple. Install it if your workflow requires Vite; skip it if you are using Django's default static file handling or a different frontend build tool."},"id":"django-vite","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-vite","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-vite.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-vite/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-vite","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Integration of Vite in a Django project."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1095601,"position":4374,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.1.0"}
