DjangoReact

This project is based on the official Django Tutorial. But, there are several enhancements:

Docker-Compose

• The project has been 'dockerized' into three containers : db, api, and web.
• db runs PostgreSQL on the official postgres image.
• api runs Django on the official python image.
• web runs ReactJS on the official node image.
• Launch containers : docker-compose up --build

PostgreSQL

• Connect : docker-compose exec db psql --username=postgres_user --dbname=django_react
• A postgresql.conf file is provided for tuning database parameters.

Django

• Connect : docker-compose exec api bash
• Some basic Django commands (to run after connecting) are stored in /app/bin. (eg, django-migrate.sh and django-createsuperuser.sh)
• "Polls" have been added to the tutorial's "Questions" and "Choices".
• The Admin sections for each type have been extended to better show the model hierarchy.
• The public pages have been cleaned up with Bootstrap.
• API endpoints have been added using Django REST

ReactJS

• Connect : docker-compose exec web bash
• Look at the react/README.md file to get oriented.
• The package.json file defines the proxy link to the API/Django container. (see Create React App)
• React Router was added for client-side routing.
• React Bootstrap was added for layout.
