Getting Started¶

This section gets you from zero to a running next.dj project. Read the overview to learn the mental model, then install the package. The five tutorial parts build a small Notes application from there.

Read first

Overview: The mental model behind next.dj. Read it once to understand pages, layouts, components, and actions.
Installation: Install the package, register it in Django, and serve a single page.

Build the Notes App

Building the First Page: Create the Notes application, model the data, and serve the index page.
Adding Layouts and Context: Wrap pages in a layout and share data through context.
Components and Static Assets: Extract a component and ship co-located CSS and JS.
Forms and Actions: Render forms and dispatch actions to create, edit, and delete notes.
Testing and Autoreload: Test pages end to end and use the development server.
What to Read Next: Where to go for deeper topics, recipes, and reference material.
