I did not do this because it was easy, I did it because I thought it would be easy.
django-async-extensions is a package that contains various async tools to be used in a django project,
this might be something django doesn't have yet, something django can't add (due to maintenance problems or backwards compatibility), or something else.
these tools are provided for now:
- async class based views (AsyncView).
- async generic class based views.
- async paginator
- async auth mixins
- async model form
- async base middleware
more to come...
you can find our documentations here
pip install django-async-extensionsno need to add this to INSTALLED_APPS.
the package should work with the stable versions of django and python. there shouldn't be any problems using it with other versions, but it is not tested.
this package is developed by the community for the community and is available for everyone under MIT licence.
- does this package solve all the async problems django has?
no, we provide some tools to help with some stuff, but some things need to be solved in django itself.
- does this make async programming easier?
no, it makes async programming with django easier, you still need to know how to do async programming.
- is this production ready?
the codebase is well tested, but the package is new and not used in production, so I can't make any guarantees yet.
- what async framework can be used for this?
django only works with asyncio, so this also only works with asyncio.
