pointofvue 0.1.1

PointOfVue
A simple, opinionated way to incorporate VueJS into your Django applications
Installation
pip install PointOfVue

Add pointofvue to your Django installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# other apps ...
'pointofvue',
]

Basic Usage
In your view, import pointofvue and send a pointofvue.VueContext instance to your template
import pointofvue

def view_handler(request):
vue_ctx = pointofvue.VueContext()
vue_ctx.set_data('var1', 'My value')

return render(request, 'template.html', {
"vue_ctx": vue_ctx,
})

In your template, write your Vue code in a #app element and use ${ and } for accessing Vue data. Then load the pointofvue templates and call the {% vue %} tag with your VueContext to load VueJS and create an app.
<div id='app'>
The value of 'var1' is <b>${ var1 }</b>
</div>

{% load pointofvue %}
{% vue vue_ctx %}

Custom JavaScript
It is likely that you won't be able to get away with just writing HTML Vue alone, you may need to define methods and other JS native entities in custom JavaScript.

Note: pointofvue encourages you to not write inline JavaScript in your Django HTML templates. Write separate JS files and serve them via staticfiles instead

Define a Vue entry point that exports your Vue data. It may look like this:
import MyCustomComponent from './my-component.js';

const components = {
MyCustomComponent,
};

export {
components,
};

Build that JS file (target as a library if using vue-cli-service). Then register your script with the Python VueContext in your view:
vue_ctx.add_script('myscript')

Now you can use your custom component in your template:
<div id="app">
<b>My Custom Component</b>
<MyCustomComponent />
</div>

Development
Releasing
I use bump2version to manage version bumping. This will update the version number in the library, commit it, and create a version tag.
bump2version minor
git push --follow-tags
