I found difficult to use Django Rest API with React JS as I am newbie (easy to make CRUD operation found difficult to handle user authentication ).
Can I use regular Django (not Django Rest framework ) templates to render the react JS ? I will user webpack to mount the Javascript file and hook it with Django templates

I want to use Django Rest Framework to create RESTAPI to integrate with the payment gateway API like stripe. For the frontend part I can only see project using React for the frontend. Cant i use Django as a frontend?
Looking for suggestions if i really just need to use React or Vue. Or is it possible to use django as frontend as well.
Looking for your suggestions. Thank you.
To use Stripe in Django, you may refer to this package https://github.com/dj-stripe/dj-stripe which supports Stripe out-of-the box specific for Django
For replacing React with Django for front-end, it is possible and you can use Django template, however, it depends on your use-case.
I want to build an app that will use a database.
I already build few of them, with models, views, urls... But I discovered that I can build my own API using Django Rest and use this API in my Django project. So if I undersand I will have to separate apps: -an API and my Django app and all my models and database related datas will be in my API app.
If I want to use vue.js for the frontend in my Django app, using an API will make eveything simpler to implement?
I'm learning ReactJS and I already have experience with Django and DRF. My aim right now is to build a rather simple web application based on a Django backend and a ReactJS frontend. (Later on, when the web app is done, I'll tackle React Native).
I've been reading tons of documentation but nothing has sorted out the question:
What is the best approach to integrate a Django backend with a ReactJS frontend?
Should I keep them separate and connect them or should I mount ReactJS inside the Django application? Which one is the best-suited approach, taking into account maintenance and further development?
Thank you very much! Any opinion/hint will be appreciated.
My approach would be make an app called frontend or anything you like in Django, then all of my React code will be placed inside that app. You will also need webpack to bundle your React code then with collectstatic command Django will collect all the static files so it could be served. You can find the tutorial here
I have to use Angular 2+ for front-end and Django as back-end, in my project.
Usually Django provides the '/admin' URL through which we can access the admin portal to do all the site-administration stuffs. But to use Angular 2+ as front-end we need to convert the whole back-end (Django) into REST API, which is actually recommended.
In this case how can we use the Django Admin URL or its utilities from Angular URLs? Or else whether I have to replicate Django Admin in Angular 2.
It will be a great help if someone can give me some ideas on this.
You seem to have a misunderstanding of how the various technologies you are developing in actually coexist.
Django is the server-side framework.
DRF (Django REST Framework) is
used in addition to Django, to make it easier to implement a
RESTful API on top of your Django project. Django REST Framework does
not replace Django. Django REST Framework is an addition to
Django.
AngularJS is a JavaScript framework that can be used in your project (or just parts of your project).
Using Django REST Framework does not suddenly mean that the Django admin interface will 'stop working'.
If your project's URL routing ('urls.py') still contains a route connecting the Django admin interface with /admin you can still go to yourproject.com/admin and it will completely circumvent anything you've done with AngularJS.
It may be late to reply, but Angular and DRF connects over http call.
I want to create simple restful login system in django. I searched every where they are creating rest-full login system using Restful Framework. How to create without using any rest framework.
Though the default authentication views in Django are not RESTful, you can use third party addons that extend the default views.
Djoser works with Django Rest Framework and provides most of the endpoints for login system.
You can find the other options that work with most Django REST frameworks here: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#third-party-packages
