Ryth Azhur b4c7e783bd Return-type branching: one decorator, two paths
@client now handles both RPC and view functions based on return type:

  @client(affects=UserContext)
  def update_name(request, user_id: int, name: str) -> dict:
      ...  # RPC path: JSON response with invalidate key

  @client(affects=UserContext)
  def update_profile(request, user_id: int) -> HttpResponse:
      ...  # View path: HttpResponse with X-Mizan-Invalidate header

Detection: isinstance(result, HttpResponseBase) after execution.

RPC path (data return):
  - Serialized via Pydantic model_dump()
  - Wrapped in {"result": ..., "invalidate": [...]}
  - Invalidation in JSON body + X-Mizan-Invalidate header

View path (HttpResponse return):
  - Response passed through directly (redirect, HTML, etc.)
  - X-Mizan-Invalidate header added automatically
  - Cache-Control: no-store added
  - No codegen (view_path=True in _meta)
  - Registered in invalidation graph (for Edge manifest)

Auto-scoping works on both paths: if mutation args overlap
with context params, invalidation is scoped automatically.

308 Django tests pass.

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 }).
