## What it is
A Django app that integrates Webpack bundles into Django templates via a simple template tag. It consumes a stats file generated by webpack-bundle-tracker to resolve and render hashed bundle assets.

## Use cases
- render webpack bundles in django templates
- serve hashed webpack assets from a django app
- integrate a react frontend built with webpack into django
- load css and js bundles with cache-busting filenames
- use webpack output with cdn or s3 public paths in django

## When to choose
- you have a django backend with a webpack-built javascript frontend
- you need hashed asset filenames resolved automatically in templates
- you want a lightweight, mature bridge between webpack and django

## When to avoid
- you use vite or another bundler without webpack-bundle-tracker
- you build a fully decoupled SPA that never renders through django templates
- your project does not use django

## Facets

- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, templating, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: python
