A project template for quickly getting started with django and react

• Separate backend and frontend apps
• Backend is a django rest app
• Frontend is a django app that just serves react
• GraphQL wired up on both sides

From the project root, start the backend by doing python manage.py runserver. It will watch for changes.

From the frontend/ directory, start the frontend by doing npm run dev. It will watch for changes.

Frontend runs on 127.0.0.1:8000/. Backend runs on 127.0.0.1:8000/api/.

A sample model, AppSetting exists to illustrate the basics of data passing with GraphQL.

GraphQL queries and mutations can be run with the included graphiql on the /graphiql endpoint. This should be disabled in production.

query {
  appSettings {
    name, type, value
  }
}

mutation {
  addAppSetting(name: "settingname", type: "string", value: "settingvalue") {
    	appSetting { id }
  }
}

The mutation will correctly upsert based on the name specified.
