The worker receives a file path in the JSON message, dynamically
imports it, renders it. No registerComponent API, no app entry file,
no export maps. Django's template backend resolves the template name
to an absolute path against DIRS, same as every other template engine.
render(request, 'components/Hello.tsx', {'name': 'World'})
Verified working: curl http://localhost:8000/hello/ returns
<div id="mizan-root"><div>Hello, World!</div></div>
Changes:
- worker.tsx: receives file path, dynamic import with cache
- bridge.py: sends file path instead of component name
- backend.py: resolves template name against DIRS to absolute path
- Fix bridge.py:147 bug (referenced deleted 'component' variable)
- Example app: Hello.tsx component, /hello/ view, template config

mizan (Python)
Django server functions framework. See the monorepo root for full documentation.
Install
uv add "mizan[channels,allauth] @ git+https://git.impactsoundworks.com/isw/mizan.git#subdirectory=django"
Setup
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = ["mizan", ...]
# urls.py
path("api/mizan/", include("mizan.urls"))
# asgi.py (optional, for WebSocket)
from mizan import wrap_asgi
application = wrap_asgi(get_asgi_application())
Define Functions
from mizan.client import client
from mizan.setup.registry import register
from pydantic import BaseModel
class Output(BaseModel):
message: str
@client
def echo(request, text: str) -> Output:
return Output(message=text)
register(echo, "echo")
Register in apps.py:
def ready(self):
import myapp.mizan_clients
Auth
@client(auth=True) # requires authentication
@client(auth='staff') # requires is_staff
@client(auth='superuser') # requires is_superuser
@client(auth=my_callable) # custom check
Contexts
@client(context='global') # fetched once, SSR-hydrated, becomes useCurrentUser()
@client(context='local') # fetched with params, becomes <GreetProvider>
Forms
from mizan.forms import mizanFormMixin, mizanFormMeta
class ContactForm(mizanFormMixin, forms.Form):
mizan = mizanFormMeta(name="contact", title="Contact Us")
name = forms.CharField()
email = forms.EmailField()
def on_submit_success(self, request):
return {"sent": True}
Auto-registers contact.schema, contact.validate, contact.submit. Generates useContactForm() with Zod validation.
Channels
from mizan.channels import ReactChannel
class ChatChannel(ReactChannel):
class Params(BaseModel):
room: str
class DjangoMessage(BaseModel):
text: str
def authorize(self, params):
return self.user.is_authenticated
def group(self, params):
return f"chat_{params.room}"
Generates useChatChannel({ room }).
