Is Django and React a good combination

4. Integrating React with Django. So back to our Django frontend app, we made earlier, this is where our React app will be in, now let’s set it up. so we will not be creating a react app the normal way using create-react-app but we would be creating each directory and files we need by ourselves .

The short answer No, you’re not doing anything wrong by not-using a frontend framework with Django . There’s no unwritten law that everything has to turn into a SPA, or be rewritten from scratch in React. Your project can be awesome without them, and you won’t miss out on much.

Django will be responsible for serving the API built using Django REST framework and React will consume these APIs using the Axios client or the browser’s fetch API . You’ll need to have two servers, both in development and production, one for Django(REST API) and the other for React (to serve static files).
