This is a boilerplate project for creating apps that run in Django but use React and Redux. It is very much a learn-as-I-go project, but feel free to use it.

NOTE: You'll most likely want to create a virtualenv to use for your installation. The remainder of these instructions assume that's what you're doing, and that any python commands are performed within that virtualenv.

These instructions also assume that you already have the latest node.js installed.

Clone this repository, and then cd into the repository's directory.

pip install -r requirements.txt

npm install

To start Django, open a terminal:

python manage.py runserver

To enable hot reloading, a node server must be running to serve the hotly generated files. The start this, open a separate terminal:

npm start

You should now be able to go to http://localhost:8000 and see the main page. Any changes made to the .js files will be hot reloaded without restarting Django or Node.

To run in production:

• In project/settings.py, set DEBUG = True
• Run npm run build:prod
• Restart your Django server with

Note: There is no need to run a node server when running in production. There is no hot reloading occurring and files are served statically.

To run the JS code through a react linter, run npm run lint
