Syntax highlighting

VSCode

Note, in the above example, that the t.django_html, t.css, and t.js types are used to specify the type of the template, CSS, and JS files, respectively. This is not necessary, but if you're using VSCode with the Python Inline Source Syntax Highlighting extension, it will give you syntax highlighting for the template, CSS, and JS.

Pycharm (or other Jetbrains IDEs)

If you're a Pycharm user (or any other editor from Jetbrains), you can have coding assistance as well:

from django_components import Component, register

@register("calendar")
class Calendar(Component):
    def get_context_data(self, date):
        return {
            "date": date,
        }

    # language=HTML
    template= """
        <div class="calendar-component">Today's date is <span>{{ date }}</span></div>
    """

    # language=CSS
    css = """
        .calendar-component { width: 200px; background: pink; }
        .calendar-component span { font-weight: bold; }
    """

    # language=JS
    js = """
        (function(){
            if (document.querySelector(".calendar-component")) {
                document.querySelector(".calendar-component").onclick = function(){ alert("Clicked calendar!"); };
            }
        })()
    """

You don't need to use types.django_html, types.css, types.js since Pycharm uses language injections. You only need to write the comments # language=<lang> above the variables.
