Any good tutorials for django-rest-framework and React.Js?

[ThomasTheDjangoFan]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get my head into how to use React.Js with Django.

I did the tutorial http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html
in combination with checking out https://github.com/HorizonXP/react-tutorial-django,
which is an implementation if it with running django 1.6.

I'm having problems getting the connection to django-rest-framework running for CRUD Stuff.

Are there any more tutorials available on how to implement an application
with React.js and Django-Rest-Framework?

Kind regards
Thomas

I am curious - in a previous thread, many respondents pointed out Angular as being a good framework to use, and one poster said "a quick Google search shows that React is barely supported yet (in terms of available Django apps)" - so why are you choosing that route?  Given you already said "I am an Javascript Beginner and I need to start it from scratch"  why not just pick a well-supported framework than struggle from the beginning?

Hi Derek,

right now React.js is seems to be talked about everywhere. I actually listend to some podcasts talking about it - like I said the meteor community seems to be a big fan and meteor even has core support for it. And even LincolnLoop say that they use react.

So when starting this threat I had react and angular and  on my final list to try out.

Today I actually had a look at angular and - after my current struggle with react.js - angular.js looks really nice.

So this threat right here is meant as a collection for react.js tutorials.

How about you - what framework are you using?

Kind regards
Thomas
