DJango REST API + JS Front End

[Amsa]

I am building a DJango Web Application where the back end is the DJango Rest API and the front end is HTML/JS. 

Can I Keep both the API code (DJango project) and the front end code (WWW folder) in the same server? or Should I move the front end to somewhere else like AWS?

Also, I am making the API calls through HTTP requests from JS (within the same server).  Is this the right approach.

Appreciate your help.

Hi there Amsa,

Both approaches are fine, I mean, there's no "right or wrong" since, choosing between then is more a personnal / architecture design choice.

Keep in mind that if you use Django project to deliver your frontend application as a static file, you will have to create an url pointing to a view, that will render this HTML file (your frontend app)

If distributing them separately you might have to install and configure django-cors, if requests from Javascript will come from a different domain.

Cheers,
