Components are all the rage in the modern front-end landscape, with libraries like React and Vue leading the way. This paradigm shift has led to the creation of a new class of UI development tools, where reusable components can be built in isolation. We’ll look at how we brought component-driven development from React to Django templates, speeding up the development process and simplifying maintenance of large pattern libraries, which Torchbox uses to deliver all of their Wagtail websites.
We will be covering the following two projects: https://github.com/torchbox/django-pattern-library, and https://github.com/torchbox/storybook-django.
