Django-bridge

What's Changed

Improvements for unit testing

This release brings a couple of improvements to simplify writing unit tests for Django bridge views.

Firstly, we've added a custom `TestCase` class to make testing Django Bridge views feel more similar to testing regular Django views. This class:

- Adds the `X-Requested-By: DjangoBridge` header to all "GET" and "POST" requests so you no longer have to pass in `HTTP_X_REQUESTED_BY="DjangoBridge"` keyword argument.
- Customises the `assertRedirects` method to work with Django-bridge redirect responses (which are converted from 302 to 200 to allow the frontend library to process them properly)

Secondly, `Response` objects now include the unserialised props making it easier to assert against serialized Python objects (like forms).

For example, you can now use `assertFormError` in your tests!

python
tests.py

class TestMyForm(TestCase):
def test_post_invalid(self):
response = self.client.post("/form", {})

self.assertFormError(
response.props["form"], "required_field", "This field is required."
)


Initial Next.js support

We've created a new NPM package called `django-render/next` to allow creating static websites that are backed by Django.

This includes the basic utilities required to render a django-render response with Next.js, including converting objects like forms into JS objects. It currently excludes context providers, `<Link>` and `<Form>` components (use the next.js provided versions instead) and overlays.

There's still a lot of work to do here, so keep your eyes on this space. Please reach out in [discussions](https://github.com/orgs/django-bridge/discussions) if you'd like to use next.js or contribute to improve its support!

Django Render has now been renamed to Django Bridge!

Because the `django-bridge` package already existed on PyPI, we've bumped the version up to v0.3 to not conflict with any previously released packages with the same name.
