Usage with Docusaurus

info

react-py is not Server-Side Rendering (SSR) friendly, due to client only APIs such as web workers. To use this package with Docusaurus, ensure it is loaded on the client side only.

Adding the PythonProvider​

Wrap your site with the <Root> component https://docusaurus.io/docs/swizzling#wrapper-your-site-with-root. Then wrap your site with the PythonProvider component:

import React from 'react'
import { PythonProvider } from 'react-py'

export default function Root({ children }) {
  return <PythonProvider>{children}</PythonProvider>
}

Overriding the CodeBlock component​

You can override the default CodeBlock by swizzling the component, more about swizzling.

For a full example, check out an example of a Docusaurus site using react-py at https://github.com/James-Ansley/latenights-textbook, specifically src/theme/CodeBlock and src/components/CodeEditor.

Docusaurus config​

We've encountered a Webpack issue when bundling a Docusaurus site with this package. The following plugin can be added to docusaurus.config.js to resolve this issue:

plugins: [
  async function disableUsedExports() {
    return {
      name: 'disable-used-exports',
      configureWebpack() {
        return {
          optimization: {
            usedExports: false
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
]
