I created front end in Reactjs and backend in Django and linked using Django rest API. but react runs in localhost:3000 and Django in localhost:8000. How to combine or integrate these two and runs in the same address.
Development
If you are in the development phase and using Create React App then you can add "proxy": "http://localhost:8000" to your package.json. Then your api requests done in React will be forwarded to port 8000.
Production
The production setup is quite different. You'll want to run yarn build and let either Django itself or nginx serve the index.html. In that case there won't be multiple ports anymore since the React build is just static files.
I am creating an example real world project as we speak with the same stack (GitHub). It doesn't have production setup quite ready yet, but you can see my development setup if you want some inspiration.
You need to link them using the routes you created in your backend. Put the routes in fetch requests in React frontend and call them via GET or POST methods etc. Your users will only hit the frontend host address once you deploy your application to the server.

I've been working on a web application that uses Django REST Framework and Django channels in the backend and has a Flutter frontend. It works successfully when tested locally, but my question was how would I deploy this:
What server is most appropriate for this application? (it should be free as this is just a personal project I've been testing)
Do I need to deploy the frontend and backend separately?
Are there any online resources I can refer to, to help me in this process?
Any help is appreciated :)
If you want to use it only for your personal use you could use https://www.heroku.com/free to host you backend.

Yes, you should deploy them seperately.
Since in your specific case the django application is only used to hold the data, provide a REST API and sockets.
I have a background in Django and a some experience in Vue. I have used Vue for almost a year now, but since I need an SSR I have to use Nuxt.However, I am still very confused with how to deploy it in the server along with Django. Should I deploy them in the same server or should I deploy them in a different server with Django server for API and Nuxt for the front end?
I have also used Vue alongside Django for a while in my project and I'm looking into Nuxt right now.
I'm planning to migrate my standard Vue codebase into a Nuxt project.
The thing that I'm looking to do is to deploy Nuxt as a server target: 'server' (which is the default) alongside Django in Docker containers.
The idea is to be able to start the application with a simple docker-compose up.
I'm not done yet but you could look at it.
Typically, your docker-compose file would have 3 service :
The Django backend (API)
The Nuxt frontend (which make calls to the backend API)
Nginx which would route the traffic to Django or Nuxt according to your needs
EDIT BELOW :
Meanwhile, I changed my mind and instead of having Nuxt running as a server, I only have 2 containers :
The Django backend (API)
Nginx which serves my built Vue frontend and routes the traffic accordingly
I have a Django backend that communicates with the React.js based frontend using REST APIs (made using DjangoREST Framework).
Up until now all the similar projects that I have deployed on gcloud use two different gcloud projects/app engine instances, one for django and the other for react.
This time I'm constrained to use a single app engine instance. Is it possible to deploy both the react and django components together?
I am aware we can serve react as static files using django, but then would there be a performance decrease? And I still need to be able to access django admin.
Yes,
It is possible to deploy both react and django components in same app engine service.
You will need to add the handlers in app.yaml
e.g.
handlers:
- url : /api/ #backend
script: ....
- url : /
static_files: frontend/index.html #frontend
upload: index.html....
We are developing an application using Vue.js and Django. The essence of the application: accept user requests from the form, send them for approval to the backend and send an answer to the frontend. On the localhost everything is already organized and working. Now our frontend is on firebase and I want to deploy my backend part somewhere. So, can I use firebase for deploying my part? Š’ecause I met different ambiguous answers to this question
You cant, I guess you are using Django Rest Framework with Vue.js. So you need deploy your back-end to some machine. You can choose any hosting which can propose you Linux machine. GoogleCloud, DigitalOcean, AWS, Heroku and a lot of others..
I like AWS (In your case as a new user you can run free EC2 for 12-month, if you do not need a lot of performance)
I've almost finished developing my frontend in Angular 2 using static json files as API mocks. Now I want to use it with my real API from Django, and I'm struggling with few issues, since it is my first Angular 2 frontend.
I've moved whole Angular project generated by Angular CLI as frontend directory within my Django project. Django is exposing API at /api, and I want to perform request to that API from Angular. In production, Angular sources will be transpiled into javascript and moved into static (i guess), but I don't know how to handle it during development.
Is it possible to run Django development server with Angular ng serve on the same port at the same time? If I'll run them at different ports, I will need to hardcode my API url in frontend, and enable CORS which won't be enabled in production.
What are the best practices to develop Angular with Django?
