Django2React16

This repository contains code examples for setting up a web application using React, served from a Django backend. There are four branches:

• minimal-setup that contains a minimal setup that builds and serves a React application from Django;
• linting-and-common-libraries builds on top of minimal-setup to add linting and some common libraries;
• use-django-authentication builds on top of linting-and-common-libraries to add Django authentication in front of the React application;
• minimal-api-csrf builds on top of use-django-authentication and adds a simple API with Django managed CSRF verification;
• react-testing builds on top of minimal-api-csrf to include a test framework for our React application.

Refer to the article at https://aliceh75.github.io/django-react for instructions on building the application, and for detailed explanation of the approach taken.
