Описание и применение

Рабочий процесс позволяет просматривать шаблоны Django без запуска сервера, создавая базовый снимок и сравнивая изменения.

Задача

Reproduce and compare Django template rendering without launching the Django application server.

Результат

The workflow enables developers to preview Django templates, capture a baseline, and diff changes without starting the application server, improving efficiency and reducing context switching.

Рабочий процесс

• Set up a dedicated Python environment with Django installed.
• Clone the Arguseye repository from the feat/template-previews branch and build it.
• Create a minimal Django template with an include and a corresponding data profile in arguseye.templates.json.
• Run node /path/to/arguseye/dist/cli.mjs shot to capture a baseline screenshot and metadata.
• Edit the template or partial files.
• Run node /path/to/arguseye/dist/cli.mjs diff to compare the edited output against the baseline and review changes.
• Use the VS Code extension to preview components and edit props JSON directly in the editor.
