I am beginner in Django web development & currently I am using using bootstrap4 by loading bootstrap.min.css & bootstrap.min.js as below in html files.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
Recently I have found that there been module in Django named django-bootstrap4 & I am reading its documentation also.
https://django-bootstrap4.readthedocs.io/
I have tried to find difference between those but not found any.
Which will be suitable to use in web development?
Tried to find answer on google but not found any so please can someone explain me difference between these two?
The Bootstrap itself is an independent CSS framework that you can use to build your UI no matter the application framework. But django-bootstrap4 is basically a helper library to seamlessly integrate Bootstrap with your Django project UI.
For example consider you want to use alert component in Bootstrap. After adding bootstrap.min.css & bootstrap.min.js to your template, every time you want to show the alert you should add code like this:
<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
Something went wrong
</div>
But with django-bootstrap4 you can simply use {% load bootstrap4 %} in your template and then there in no need to writing all the tags and classes.
{% bootstrap_alert "Something went wrong" alert_type='error' %}
So they are basically is the same but the later is cleaner and more maintainable.

Your IDE isn't configured to work with Django markup language, try add django plugin:
Search django on plugins and hit install.
Then, on your file click inside detected language (HTML) and change to Django HTML
In my current django project I have the following model:
Python 3.7.1 / django 3.0
class SampleClass(models.Model):
active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
And the following template code with 'sample' as an instance of the SampleClass above (only small snippet):
HTML / django template language
<form action='#' method='post'>
<input type='checkbox' name='is_active_checkbox' {% if sample.active %}checked{% endif %}>
</form>
Now, when the state of the checkbox is changed, I would like to immediately apply the change to the django database, without reloading the page (if possible). Is there any way to do that?
I would recommend you to start with a basic AngularJS, there are several functions that you can apply quickly, this option allows you to just add a CDN and keep working the frontend from Django.
If you want to do something more robust, you can apply Angular 8+. Here you should use Angular as a web server, and Django as REST Apis.
Here are some basic examples, where you can adapt it to your needs and play around with the theme. I've been working with Django for more than 6 years, but I started to integrate it with Angular less than a year ago (you can choose React, Vue, or whatever suits you best, but Angular was a comfortable decision for me)
I leave you here my Github with several examples of Django with all its code, there is also 1 pair with React.
Github/Django
I saw some examples,bu it don't solve my problem!
Any help will be Appreciated....
As you already have the files locally in the static folder, you can just use them in the html templates, for example:
{% load static %}
<link href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">
CDNs, or content delivery networks, are code files hosted on the web that you can include in your project. Using a CDN is the fastest way to get set up with Bootstrap.
Find a CDN for Bootstrap. MaxCDN hosts the latest version:
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
Simply include the code above in your HTML head element and you will be good to go!
Another option is to download your own copy of Bootstrap and integrate it into your project structure.
I have solved this problem ,the version of the Django is 1.11. I check the Django website,it told me I must build files like this and set setting.py like this.But thanks for all of you!

I am using bootstrap offline with :
{% load bootstrap3 %}
{% bootstrap_css %}
{% bootstrap_javascript %}
in my template, but the code for the first carousel shown here http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_grid_basic.asp
does not work unless I have the CDN links:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
what {% %} do I need to make carousel work ?
Ok.. I have got the answer for Offline Carousel for bootstrap.
Download > jquery slim build (https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.js)
Copy the contents in your own File as JS file (like copy paste codes in your file and save as jquery.js)
Link your script inside body tag (before body tag ends) like...<script src="jquery.js"></script>
Finally link bootstrap js file as step 3.
Thank You!
From looking at the documentation, it does not appear that you can use Bootstrap features offline by default. If you look at the default settings for django-bootstrap3, you will see that this package does use the CDNs behind the scenes.
As far as I know, the only way to use bootstrap offline would be to have a copy of the Bootstrap css and JavaScript files saved on your local machine, as well as the jQuery files, since the Bootstrap JavaScript plugins depend on that.
I have not used django-bootstrap3 but it looks like if you have a copy of the necessary Bootstrap files stored locally, you should be able to update your Django settings for django-bootstrap3 to point to these local copies instead of the copies on the various CDNs.
I use django-pipeline to deal with css, javascript files in my Django projects.
But I wonder how I could deal with image files using django-pipeline.
There is no manual for image in docs.
Should I use Django built-in {% load staticfiles%} for images?
Then should I use both {% load staticfiles%} and {% load pipelines %}?
Thanks.
