Dear Experts, 

I am planning to build an application using this stack. Any blogs / videos / Links that can help me understand how these three connect will be a great help.

Specific questions I am trying to answer are.

  1. Will I be able to integrate Django with Angular easily. Does this need to be done using DRF? Will the angular interpolation cause clashes with Django if I use Django interpolation?
  2. Can I drop Angular and develop the same Single Page Application capabilities with HTML5+Bootstrap? Need to ensure I have ability to refresh a specific blocks / regions / components like you can do in Angular SPA.
  3. I am using Windows 10 and looking for some document to make my Django setup work with Postresql
  4. Can I create my tables in Postgresql first, create the models in Django and then run migrate so the app is in Sync with the database.

There is a third-party app for Django and Angular called Djangular:

https://github.com/appliedsec/djangular

 

I have used neither Angular nor Djangular.

 

I do use Windows 10 with PostgreSQL without any problems.  You don’t need to create tables in PostgreSQL.  Just run the migrate command.

My best bet: expose django with drf and use angular as a frontend.

Thank you Matthew. I will check this out.

 

The only reason I wanted to create the tables first in PostgreSQL is to ensure that I have all the relations right. The schema is quite complex with multiple levels of hierarchical relations & constraints. If this is not possible, I will go the Django way and use migrate.

 

Thank You.

From my personal experience:
  • make frontend (angular) almost 100% separate from backend (django)
  • if you want to build truly restful service, avoid DRF (more precisely -- avoid whole "magical" model views, which implements CRUD antipattern)
  • focus on hypermedia (i.e. use Hydra, or start with something custom -- going restful is a process)
  • avoid django forms if possible (use Colander, for example)
 
DRF will give you big community, rich features, more skilled devs and rapid developemnt (especially at the initial stage), but later it may introduce limitations. 
Just my 5 cents.
