Django & React application

This is a starter project for my Django/react applications with many starting features that are common throughout most of my projects.

Feature List

Django

• Django Rest Framework
• Custom User Model
• Django Rest Auth for authentication
• Testing structure setup

React

• vite
• react-router
• react-hook-form
• react-query (TODO)
• redux toolkit (TODO)

Running

1. docker compose up
2. There should now be two servers running:

• http://localhost:8000 is the Django Rest API
• http://127.0.0.1:3000 is the React frontend app

Using docker compose exec to issue one-off commands

If you want to run a one-off command, like installing dependencies, you can use the docker compose exec <service_name> <cmd>.

For example, to install a Javascript dependency and save that information to package.json we could run: docker compose exec client npm install --save axios

If you want to be on a shell for one of the Docker services, you can do something like: docker compose exec api bash
