Overview

The DRF React & Redux Starter is a boilerplate project that combines Django, a high-level Python web framework, with React, a JavaScript library for building user interfaces, to create a powerful and flexible web application. It includes a range of features such as a responsive user interface built with React, a Django backend with support for multiple database types, integration with third-party services and APIs, and a robust authentication and authorization system. The project is built using Python, Django, React, Webpack, and npm, and uses Django's ORM and React's declarative components to build the user interface and interact with the backend.

To get started with the DRF React & Redux Starter, you will need to have Python 3.x and yarn installed on your machine. Then, clone the repository and install the required dependencies by running the following commands:
