Wasp: Jawapan JavaScript kepada Django untuk Pembangunan Web

Wasp v Django: Membina aplikasi tindanan penuh menjadi lebih mudah

Hai, saya Sam, seorang jurutera bahagian belakang yang mempunyai banyak pengalaman dengan Django. Saya mahu membuat lompatan dan mempelajari beberapa bahagian hadapan untuk apl tindanan penuh. Saya dengan cepat mengalami sifat sukar projek React-with-Django dan menganggap kesakitan itu hanyalah sebahagian daripada proses pembangunan. Walau bagaimanapun, saya menjumpai rangka kerja tindanan penuh baharu yang sangat hebat yang dipanggil Wasp.

Tebuan ialah alat pembangun yang menakjubkan untuk aplikasi tindanan penuh. Menggabungkan perkara seperti React, Node.js dan Prisma, Wasp membolehkan pembangunan dipercepatkan dengan cara yang tidak pernah dilihat sebelum ini.

Dalam artikel ini, saya akan meneruskan penciptaan aplikasi tindanan penuh dalam Django versus Wasp untuk membuktikan kesederhanaan Wasp terhadap teknologi tindanan penuh yang sangat konvensional. Saya juga akan membuat frontend tindak balas yang disambungkan ke Django. Intinya adalah untuk menyerlahkan ketidakcekapan, kesukaran dan isu yang boleh (dan akan) timbul dengan Django/react yang dibuat dengan lebih mudah melalui

Artikel ini tidak dimaksudkan sebagai cara, tetapi saya menyediakan beberapa kod untuk menyerlahkan sifat menyeluruh apl Django.

Bahagian 1: Biar Ada Cahaya!

Mari buat beberapa projek dan sediakan perkara

Bahagian ini adalah satu-satunya bahagian yang terdapat pertindihan yang ketara antara Django dan Wasp. Kedua-duanya bermula dari terminal, mari buat apl tugasan mudah (saya andaikan anda telah memasang Django dan Wasp dan dalam laluan anda).

Django ?

django-admin startproject
python manage.py starapp Todo

Tebuan ?

wasp new Todo
wasp start

Kini Wasp mula panas keluar dari pintu pagar. Semak menu yang anda berikan di bawah. Wasp boleh sama ada memulakan apl asas untuk anda atau anda boleh memilih daripada pelbagai templat pra-dibuat (termasuk apl SaaS yang berfungsi sepenuhnya) atau juga menggunakan apl yang dijana AI berdasarkan penerangan anda!

Sementara itu, Django berfungsi sebagai projek dengan apl dalam projek (sekali lagi, ini pada asasnya untuk operasi bahagian belakang) dan boleh terdapat banyak apl untuk satu projek Django. Oleh itu, anda perlu mendaftarkan setiap apl dalam tetapan projek Django.

python `manage.py` startapp todo

setting.py:

INSTALLED_APPS [
...
'Todo'
]

Masa Pangkalan Data

Jadi sekarang kami memerlukan pangkalan data, dan ini adalah satu lagi kawasan di mana Wasp benar-benar bersinar. Dengan Django, kita perlu mencipta model dalam fail models.py. Sementara itu, Wasp menggunakan Prisma kerana ia adalah ORM yang membolehkan kami mentakrifkan dengan jelas medan yang diperlukan dan menjadikan penciptaan pangkalan data mudah dengan cara yang mudah difahami.

Django ?

models.py:

from django.db import models

class Task(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    completed = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

Tebuan ?

skema.prisma:

model Task {
    id          Int     @id @default(autoincrement())
    description String
    isDone      Boolean @default(false)
}

Django dan Wasp berkongsi cara yang sama untuk memindahkan pangkalan data:

Django ?

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Tebuan ?

wasp db migrate-dev

Tetapi dengan Wasp, anda juga boleh melakukan beberapa perkara pangkalan data yang cantik yang Django tidak boleh.

Sekarang kami menggunakan SQLite, tetapi bagaimana pula dengan segera menyediakan pangkalan data Posgres pembangunan? Wasp boleh melakukannya dengan:

wasp db start

Itu sahaja! Dengan itu anda mempunyai bekas docker yang menjalankan contoh Postgres dan ia disambungkan dengan serta-merta ke apl Wasp anda. ?

Atau bagaimana jika anda ingin melihat pangkalan data anda dalam masa nyata melalui UI studio pangkalan data Prisma, sesuatu yang tidak mungkin tanpa sambungan pihak ketiga dengan Django. Untuk itu, jalankan sahaja:

wasp db studio

Adakah anda mula nampak apa yang saya maksudkan sekarang?

Laluan

Laluan di Django dan Wasp mengikut corak yang agak serupa. Walau bagaimanapun, jika anda biasa dengan React, maka sistem Wasp adalah jauh lebih baik.

• Django berfungsi melalui bahagian belakang (views.py, yang akan saya sampaikan kemudian dalam artikel ini) yang melakukan semua operasi CRUD. Fungsi paparan tersebut dikaitkan dengan laluan tertentu dalam apl dalam projek (saya tahu, banyak), dan ia boleh menjadi lebih rumit jika anda mula menggunakan kunci utama dan ID. Anda perlu mencipta fail urls.py dan mengarahkan fail dan fungsi paparan khusus anda ke laluan. Url apl tersebut kemudiannya disambungkan ke url projek. Fuh.

• Cara Wasp: tentukan laluan dan halakannya ke komponen.

Django ?

todo/urls.py:

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
    path('update/<str:pk>/', views.updateTask, name='update_task'),
    path('delete/<str:pk>/', views.deleteTask, name='delete_task'),
]

./urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('todo.urls')),
]

Tebuan ?

utama.tebuan:

route TaskRoute { path: "/", to: TaskPage }
page TaskPage {
  component: import { TaskPage } from "@src/TaskPage"
}

CRUD

Ok, di sinilah manfaat Wasp akan menjadi lebih ketara.

Firstly, I am going to revisit the views.py file. This is where magic is going to happen for Django backend. Here is a simple version of what the create, update, and delete functions could look like for our Task/Todo example:

Django ?

todo/views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .models import Task
from .forms import TaskForm

def index(request):
    tasks = Task.objects.all()
    form = TaskForm()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = TaskForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        return redirect('/')
    context = {'tasks': tasks, 'form': form}
    return render(request, 'todo/index.html', context)

def updateTask(request, pk):
    task = Task.objects.get(id=pk)
    form = TaskForm(instance=task)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = TaskForm(request.POST, instance=task)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        return redirect('/')
    context = {'form': form}
    return render(request, 'todo/update_task.html', context)

def deleteTask(request, pk):
    task = Task.objects.get(id=pk)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        task.delete()
        return redirect('/')
    context = {'task': task}
    return render(request, 'todo/delete.html', context)

app/forms.py:

from django import forms
from .models import Task

class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Task
        fields = ['title', 'completed']

Wasp ?

main.wasp:

query getTasks {
  fn: import { getTasks } from "@src/operations",
  // Tell Wasp that this operation affects the `Task` entity. Wasp will automatically
  // refresh the client (cache) with the results of the operation when tasks are modified.
  entities: [Task]
}

action updateTask {
  fn: import { updateTask } from "@src/operations",
  entities: [Task]
}

action deleteTask {
  fn: import { deleteTask } from "@src/operations",
  entities: [Task]
}

operations.js:

export const getTasks = async (args, context) => {
  return context.entities.Task.findMany({
    orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
  })
}

export const updateTask = async ({ id, data }, context) => {
  return context.entities.Task.update({
    where: { id },
    data
  })
}

export const deleteTask = async ({ id }, context) => {
  return context.entities.Task.delete({
    where: { id }
  })
}

So right now, Wasp has a fully functioning backend with middleware configured for you. At this point we can create some React components, and then import and call these operations from the client. That is not the case with Django, unfortunately there is still a lot we need to do to configure React in our app and get things working together, which we will look at below.

Part 2: So you want to use React with Django?

At this point we could just create a simple client with HTML and CSS to go with our Django app, but then this wouldn't be a fair comparison, as Wasp is a true full-stack framework and gives you a managed React-NodeJS-Prisma app out-of-the-box. So let's see what we'd have to do to get the same thing set up with Django.

Note that this section is going to highlight Django, so keep in mind that you can skip all the following steps if you just use Wasp. :)

Django ?

First thing’s first. Django needs a REST framework and CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing):

pip install djangorestframework
pip install django-cors-headers

Include Rest Framework and Cors Header as installed apps, CORS headers as middleware, and then also set a local host for the react frontend to be able to communicate with the backend (Django) server (again, there is no need to do any of this initial setup in Wasp as it's all handled for you).

settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'corsheaders',
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware',
    ...
]

CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = [
    'http://localhost:3000',
]

And now a very important step, which is to serialize all the data from Django to be able to work in json format for React frontend.

app/serializers.py:

from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Task

class TaskSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Task
        fields = '__all__'

Now, since we are handling CRUD on the React side, we can change the views.py file:

from rest_framework import viewsets
from .models import Task
from .serializers import TaskSerializer

class TaskViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Task.objects.all()
    serializer_class = TaskSerializer

And now we need to change both app and project URLS since we have a frontend application on a different url than our backend.

urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('api/', include('todo.urls')),  # Add this line
]

from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from .views import TaskViewSet

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'tasks', TaskViewSet)

urlpatterns = [
    path('', include(router.urls)),
]

By now you should be understanding why I've made the switch to using Wasp when building full-stack apps. Anyways, now we are actually able to make a react component with a Django backend ?

React time

Ok, so now we can actually get back to comparing Wasp and Django.

Django ?

To start, lets create our React app in our Django project:

npx create-react-app frontend

Finally, we can make a component in React. A few things:

• I am using axios in the Django project here. Wasp comes bundled with React-Query (aka Tanstack Query), so the execution of (CRUD) operations is a lot more elegant and powerful.

• The api call is to my local server, obviously this will change in development.

• You can make this many different ways, I tried to keep it simple.

main.jsx:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

const TaskList = () => {
  const [tasks, setTasks] = useState([]);
  const [newTask, setNewTask] = useState('');
  const [editingTask, setEditingTask] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
      fetchTasks();
  }, []);

  const fetchTasks = () => {
    axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/tasks/')
      .then(response => {
        setTasks(response.data);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('There was an error fetching the tasks!', error);
      });
  };

  const handleAddTask = () => {
    if (newTask.trim()) {
      axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/tasks/', { title: newTask, completed: false })
        .then(() => {
          setNewTask('');
          fetchTasks();
        })
        .catch(error => {
          console.error('There was an error adding the task!', error);
        });
    }
  };

  const handleUpdateTask = (task) => {
    axios.put(`http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/tasks/${task.id}/`, task)
      .then(() => {
        fetchTasks();
        setEditingTask(null);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('There was an error updating the task!', error);
      });
  };

  const handleDeleteTask = (taskId) => {
    axios.delete(`http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/tasks/${taskId}/`)
      .then(() => {
        fetchTasks();
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('There was an error deleting the task!', error);
      });
  };

  const handleEditTask = (task) => {
    setEditingTask(task);
  };

  const handleChange = (e) => {
    setNewTask(e.target.value);
  };

  const handleEditChange = (e) => {
    setEditingTask({ ...editingTask, title: e.target.value });
  };

  const handleEditCompleteToggle = () => {
    setEditingTask({ ...editingTask, completed: !editingTask.completed });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>To-Do List</h1>
      <input type="text" value={newTask} onChange={handleChange} placeholder="Add new task" />
      <button onClick={handleAddTask}>Add Task</button>
      <ul>
        {tasks.map(task => (
          <li key={task.id}>
            {editingTask && editingTask.id === task.id ? (
              <div>
                <input type="text" value={editingTask.title} onChange={handleEditChange} />
                <button onClick={() => handleUpdateTask(editingTask)}>Save</button>
                <button onClick={() => setEditingTask(null)}>Cancel</button>
                <button onClick={handleEditCompleteToggle}>
                  {editingTask.completed ? 'Mark Incomplete' : 'Mark Complete'}
                </button>
              </div>
          ) : (
            <div>
              {task.title} - {task.completed ? 'Completed' : 'Incomplete'}
              <button onClick={() => handleEditTask(task)}>Edit</button>
              <button onClick={() => handleDeleteTask(task.id)}>Delete</button>
            </div>
            )}
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </div>
  );
};

export default TaskList;

Wasp ?

And here's the Wasp React client for comparison. Take note how we're able to import the operations we defined earlier and call them here easily on the client with less configuration than the Django app. We also get the built-in caching power of the useQuery hook, as well as the ability to pass in our authenticated user as a prop (we'll get into this more below).

Main.jsx:

import React, { FormEventHandler, FormEvent } from "react";
import { type Task } from "wasp/entities";
import { type AuthUser, getUsername } from "wasp/auth";
import { logout } from "wasp/client/auth";
import { createTask, updateTask, deleteTasks, useQuery, getTasks } from "wasp/client/operations";
import waspLogo from "./waspLogo.png";

import "./Main.css";

export const MainPage = ({ user }) => {
  const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = useQuery(getTasks);

  if (isLoading) return "Loading...";
  if (error) return "Error: " + error;

  const completed = tasks?.filter((task) => task.isDone).map((task) => task.id);

  return (
    <main>
      <img src={waspLogo} alt="wasp logo" />
      {user && user.identities.username && (
        <h1>
          {user.identities.username.id}
          {`'s tasks :)`}
        </h1>
      )}
      <NewTaskForm />
      {tasks && <TasksList tasks={tasks} />}
      <div className="buttons">
        <button
          className="logout"
          onClick={() => deleteTasks(completed ?? [])}
        >
          Delete completed
        </button>
        <button className="logout" onClick={logout}>
          Logout
        </button>
      </div>
    </main>
  );
};

function Todo({ id, isDone, description }) {
  const handleIsDoneChange = async (
    event
  ) => {
    try {
      await updateTask({
        id,
        isDone: event.currentTarget.checked,
      });
    } catch (err: any) {
      window.alert("Error while updating task " + err?.message);
    }
  };

  return (
    <li>
      <span className="todo-item">
        <input
          type="checkbox"
          id={id.toString()}
          checked={isDone}
          onChange={handleIsDoneChange}
        />
        <span>{description}</span>
        <button onClick={() => void deleteTasks([id])}>Delete</button>
      </span>
    </li>
  );
}

function TasksList({ tasks }) {
  if (tasks.length === 0) return <p>No tasks yet.</p>;
  return (
    <ol className="tasklist">
      {tasks.map((task, idx) => (
        <Todo {...task} key={idx} />
      ))}
    </ol>
  );
}

function NewTaskForm() {
  const handleSubmit = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();

    try {
      const description = event.currentTarget.description.value;
      console.log(description);
      event.currentTarget.reset();
      await createTask({ description });
    } catch (err: any) {
      window.alert("Error: " + err?.message);
    }
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input name="description" type="text" defaultValue="" />
      <input type="submit" value="Create task" />
    </form>
  );
}

Very nice! In the Wasp app you can see how much easier it is to call the server-side code via Wasp operations. Plus, Wasp gives you the added benefit of refreshing the client-side cache for the Entity that's referenced in the operation definition (in this case Task). And the cherry on top is how easy it is to pass the authenticated user to the component, something we haven't even touched on in the Django app, and which we will talk about more below.

Part 3: Auth with Django? No way, José

So we already started to get a feel in the above code for how simple it is to pass an authenticated user around in Wasp. But how do we actually go about implementing full-stack Authentication in Wasp and Django.

This is one of Wasp’s biggest advantages. It couldn't be easier or more intuitive. On the other hand, the Django implementation is so long and complicated I'm not going to even bother showing you the code and I'll just list out the stps instead;

Wasp ?

main.wasp:

app TodoApp {
  wasp: {
    version: "^0.14.0"
  },

  title: "Todo App",

  auth: {
    userEntity: User,
    methods: {
      usernameAndPassword: {}
    }
  }

  //...

And that's all it takes to implement full-stack Auth with Wasp! But that's just one example, you can also add other auth methods easily, like google: {}, gitHub: {} and discord: {} social auth, after configuring the apps and adding your environment variables.

Wasp allows you to get building without worrying about so many things. I don’t need to worry about password hashing, multiple projects and apps, CORS headers, etc. I just need to add a couple lines of code.

Wasp just makes sense.

Django ?

Let's check out what it takes to add a simple username and password auth implementation to a Django app (remember, this isn't even the code, just a checklist!):

Install Necessary Packages:

• Use pip to install djangorestframework, djoser, and djangorestframework-simplejwt for Django.
• Use npm to install axios and jwt-decode for React.

Update Django Settings:

• Add required apps (rest_framework, djoser, corsheaders, and your Django app) to INSTALLED_APPS.
• Configure middleware to include CorsMiddleware.
• Set up Django REST Framework settings for authentication and permissions.
• Configure SimpleJWT settings for token expiration and authorization header types.

Set Up URL Routing:

• Include the djoser URLs for authentication and JWT endpoints in Django’s urls.py.

Implement Authentication Context in React:

• Create an authentication context in React to manage login state and tokens.
• Provide methods for logging in and out, and store tokens in local storage.

Create Login Component in React:

• Build a login form component in React that allows users to enter their credentials and authenticate using the Django backend.

Protect React Routes and Components:

• Use React Router to protect routes that require authentication.
• Ensure that API requests include the JWT token for authenticated endpoints.

Implement Task Update and Delete Functionality:

• Add methods in the React components to handle updating and deleting tasks.
• Use axios to make PUT and DELETE requests to the Django API.

Add Authentication to Django Views:

• Ensure that Django views and endpoints require authentication.
• Use Django REST Framework permissions to protect API endpoints.

One Final Thing

I just want to highlight one more aspect of Wasp that I really love. In Django, we're completely responsible for dealing with all the boilerplate code when setting up a new app. In other words, we have to set up new apps from scratch every time (even if it's been done before a million times by us and other devs). But with Wasp we can scaffold a new app template in a number of ways to really jump start the development process.

Let's check out these other ways to get a full-stack app started in Wasp.

Way #1: Straight Outta Terminal

A simple wasp new in the terminal shows numerous starting options and app templates. If I really want to make a todo app for example, well there you have it, option 2.

Right out of the box you have a to-do application with authentication, CRUD functionality, and some basic styling. All of this is ready to be amended for your specific use case.

Or what if you want to turn code into money? Well, you can also get a fully functioning SaaS app. Interested in the latest AI offereings? You also have a vector embeddings template, or an AI full-stack app protoyper! 5 options that save you from having to write a ton of boilerplate code.

Way #2: Mage.ai (Free!)

Just throw a name, prompt, and select a few of your desired settings and boom, you get a fully functioning prototype app. From here you can use other other AI tools, like Cursor's AI code editor, to generate new features and help you debug!

? Note that the Mage functionality is also achievable via the terminal ("ai-generated"), but you need to provide your own open-ai api key for it to work.

결론

그럼 여기까지입니다. 처음에 말했듯이 Django 출신인 저는 Wasp로 풀 스택 앱을 구축하는 것이 얼마나 쉬운지 놀랐고 이것이 제가 이 글을 쓰게 된 계기가 되었습니다.

Django에서 벗어나 Wasp를 선택하는 것이 왜 시간, 에너지, 감정 측면에서 도움이 될 수 있는지 보여줄 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다.
