django-tailwind VS django-unicorn

Most of our installation is done but we haven't configured Tailwind yet. django-tailwind is already installed with the required Python packages but we'll need to compile this to fully setup Tailwind and make it ready to work in our local development environment.

I'm currently using Django + TailwindCSS to build small apps, sometimes relying on JS or even with some other Django app to handle dynamic behavior on the front-end (e.g. django-formset for improving forms). I've been achieving very interesting results with this stack so far.

I like the way that django-tailwind handles it. Still requires npm locally, but puts some nice management command wrappers around it.

There are many ways to set up Tailwind CSS in Django. One way to do so is by using a package called django-tailwind. This package provides an easy way to use Tailwind CSS in a Django project.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've had several issues with trying to integrate it; the key problem I'm having at the moment is running manage.py tailwind commands in my dockerfile. The example dockerfile requires these commands to be run, but for some reason I am constantly getting a manage.py cannot be found error. I have checked my directories, and it seems to be in the right place, but I cannot seem to resolve this error at the moment.

django-tailwind improved my experience with this stack markedly.

Technically, you can use any CSS framework, including Tailwind, for Django. Most of the time, dropping that CDN into your template will be enough (i.e. bootstrap 5 or bulma) to get started.

Are you using the django-tailwind package?

Then there are stack-specific libraries: StimulusReflex for Rails, Phoenix LiveView, Laravel Livewire, Unicorn and Tetra for Django, Blazor for .NET, … and the list goes on.

- you get one of the best ORMs in existence with great relationship handling and generated admins

Not 1.0 yet but I'm using it in production and omgosh is it easy to crank out UIs.

There's a brilliant project called Django Unicorn that aims to be the equivalent of Laravel Livewire for Django. You should take a look.

That and HTMX + Alpine.js are a strong combination.

(I also had a bash at building a similar tool for Django called Tetra but unfortunately haven't had the time needed to commit to it: https://www.tetraframework.com)

I think all LiveView frameworks should be part of this.

Here are two Python ones I've tried:

I'm biased since I created https://www.django-unicorn.com/, but I have a few thoughts. :)

Have you looked into Django Unicorn?

Check out https://www.django-unicorn.com/ it is like htmx but is closer to Django.

When I was exploring the space, django-unicorn looked interesting also. But HTMX got me so far, so easily, that I didn't give unicorn a fair shake.
