Ryth Azhur 558c7c6d6c Update documentation to reflect Djarea's RPC architecture
- Root README: full quick start, architecture diagram, feature table,
  code generation workflow, error handling, forms, channels, testing
- Django README: setup, auth variations, contexts, forms, channels
- React README: clarify that generated hooks are the API (not library
  primitives), DjangoContext is the only provider needed, sub-exports
  are internals

# @rythazhur/djarea (TypeScript)
React client for the Djarea framework. See the [monorepo root](../README.md) for full documentation.
## Install
```bash
npm install @rythazhur/djarea@git+https://git.impactsoundworks.com/isw/djarea.git#workspace=react
```
## Usage
You don't use this package directly. You use the **generated hooks**.
### 1. Configure
```js
// django.config.mjs
export default {
source: {
django: {
managePath: '../backend/manage.py',
command: ['uv', 'run', 'python'],
},
},
output: 'src/api/generated.ts',
}
```
### 2. Generate
```bash
npx djarea-generate # once
npx djarea-generate --watch # dev mode
```
### 3. Wrap your app
```tsx
import { DjangoContext } from '@/api'
<DjangoContext>
<App />
</DjangoContext>
```
`DjangoContext` is the only provider you need. It handles HTTP, WebSocket, CSRF, session init, context auto-fetching, and channel connections.
### 4. Use generated hooks
```tsx
import { useCurrentUser, useEcho, useContactForm, useChatChannel } from '@/api'
// Context (SSR-hydrated, auto-refreshed)
const user = useCurrentUser()
// Server function
const echo = useEcho()
const result = await echo({ text: 'hello' })
// Form (Zod + server validation)
const form = useContactForm()
form.set('email', 'test@example.com')
await form.submit()
// Channel (WebSocket)
const chat = useChatChannel({ room: 'general' })
chat.send({ text: 'hello' })
chat.messages // typed, reactive
```
## Generated Files
| File | Contents |
|------|----------|
| `generated.django.tsx` | `DjangoContext` + typed hooks |
| `generated.djarea.ts` | Pydantic types |
| `generated.forms.ts` | Form hooks with Zod |
| `generated.channels.hooks.tsx` | Channel hooks |
| `index.ts` | Re-exports everything |
## Sub-exports
| Import | When to use |
|--------|------------|
| `@rythazhur/djarea` | Core: DjareaProvider, hooks, forms, errors |
| `@rythazhur/djarea/channels` | WebSocket channels |
| `@rythazhur/djarea/jwt` | JWT token management |
| `@rythazhur/djarea/client` | HTTP clients (CSR/SSR) |
| `@rythazhur/djarea/allauth` | Allauth UI components |
These are **library internals** used by the generated code. You should import from `@/api` (your generated index), not from the library directly.
## Running Tests
```bash
# Unit tests (Vitest, jsdom)
npm test
# E2E tests (Playwright, real browser)
# Requires Docker backend running
npx playwright test
```
