This is an initial proof of concept of how to build dynamic forms with Django and Vue.js

Content:

1. Overview
2. Set up the working environment
3. Run Django server

In this web application users can manage an author and their books by adding new books or removing books, or updating the info for the existing books.

Here's a demo of this web app: https://fatse.pythonanywhere.com/

2.1 Clone the project repository in your machine and change the current working directory to that of the cloned project as follows:

git clone https://github.com/fatse/django-formsets-vuejs.git
cd django-formsets-vuejs

2.2 Install dependencies into an isolated environment:

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

From your terminal run this command to start a local web server:

python manage.py runserver

And in your terminal you will see an output similar to the one below:

Django version 2.2.24, using settings 'django_vuejs.settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

You can copy the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/ from the output and paste it directly to your browser's search bar.

Alternatively, you can click at the link http://127.0.0.1:8000/ from the output while pressing the Command ⌘ key, and it will open a new browser tab for the web application.
