Extension Hooks¤

Overview of all the extension hooks available in Django Components.

on_component_class_created ¤

on_component_class_created(ctx: OnComponentClassCreatedContext) -> None

See source code

Called when a new Component class is created.

This hook is called after the Component class is fully defined but before it's registered.

Use this hook to perform any initialization or validation of the Component class.

Example:

from django_components import ComponentExtension, OnComponentClassCreatedContext

class MyExtension(ComponentExtension):
    def on_component_class_created(self, ctx: OnComponentClassCreatedContext) -> None:
        # Add a new attribute to the Component class
        ctx.component_cls.my_attr = "my_value"

Available data:

name	type	description
`component_cls`	`Type[Component]`	The created Component class

on_component_class_deleted ¤

on_component_class_deleted(ctx: OnComponentClassDeletedContext) -> None

See source code

Called when a Component class is being deleted.

This hook is called before the Component class is deleted from memory.

Use this hook to perform any cleanup related to the Component class.

Example:

from django_components import ComponentExtension, OnComponentClassDeletedContext

class MyExtension(ComponentExtension):
    def on_component_class_deleted(self, ctx: OnComponentClassDeletedContext) -> None:
        # Remove Component class from the extension's cache on deletion
        self.cache.pop(ctx.component_cls, None)

Available data:

name	type	description
`component_cls`	`Type[Component]`	The to-be-deleted Component class

on_component_data ¤

on_component_data(ctx: OnComponentDataContext) -> None

See source code

Called when a Component was triggered to render, after a component's context and data methods have been processed.

This hook is called after Component.get_context_data(), Component.get_js_data() and Component.get_css_data().

This hook runs after on_component_input.

Use this hook to modify or validate the component's data before rendering.

Example:

from django_components import ComponentExtension, OnComponentDataContext

class MyExtension(ComponentExtension):
    def on_component_data(self, ctx: OnComponentDataContext) -> None:
        # Add extra template variable to all components when they are rendered
        ctx.context_data["my_template_var"] = "my_value"

Available data:

name	type	description
`component`	`Component`	The Component instance that is being rendered
`component_cls`	`Type[Component]`	The Component class
`component_id`	`str`	The unique identifier for this component instance
`context_data`	`Dict`	Dictionary of context data from `Component.get_context_data()`
`css_data`	`Dict`	Dictionary of CSS data from `Component.get_css_data()`
`js_data`	`Dict`	Dictionary of JavaScript data from `Component.get_js_data()`

on_component_input ¤

on_component_input(ctx: OnComponentInputContext) -> None

See source code

Called when a Component was triggered to render, but before a component's context and data methods are invoked.

This hook is called before Component.get_context_data(), Component.get_js_data() and Component.get_css_data().

Use this hook to modify or validate component inputs before they're processed.

Example:

from django_components import ComponentExtension, OnComponentInputContext

class MyExtension(ComponentExtension):
    def on_component_input(self, ctx: OnComponentInputContext) -> None:
        # Add extra kwarg to all components when they are rendered
        ctx.kwargs["my_input"] = "my_value"

Available data:

name	type	description
`args`	`List`	List of positional arguments passed to the component
`component`	`Component`	The Component instance that received the input and is being rendered
`component_cls`	`Type[Component]`	The Component class
`component_id`	`str`	The unique identifier for this component instance
`context`	`Context`	The Django template Context object

`slots`	`Dict`	Dictionary of slot definitions

on_component_registered ¤

on_component_registered(ctx: OnComponentRegisteredContext) -> None

See source code

Called when a Component class is registered with a ComponentRegistry.

This hook is called after a Component class is successfully registered.

Available data:

name	type	description
`component_cls`	`Type[Component]`	The registered Component class

Example:

from django_components import ComponentExtension, OnComponentUnregisteredContext

class MyExtension(ComponentExtension):
    def on_component_unregistered(self, ctx: OnComponentUnregisteredContext) -> None:
        print(f"Component {ctx.component_cls} unregistered from {ctx.registry} as '{ctx.name}'")

Available data:

name	type	description
`component_cls`	`Type[Component]`	The unregistered Component class
