Guide on how to create and set up your Django project with webpack, npm and ReactJS :)

Hopefully this will answer "How do I setup or start a Django project?" I was trying to set up my own website, and there was a lot to read, learn and digest! Therefore, I put this together which is a collection of all the guides/blog posts/articles that I found the most useful. At the end of this, you will have your barebones Django app configured and ready to start building :)

NOTE: This guide was built using Django 1.9.5, NodeJS 4+ with NPM 3+

1. Setting up your dev environment

Porting to Python 3 - git diff

Here's an example of porting changes when trying to deal with binary strings which are nothing more than serialized dictionaries (response.rendered_content). In python 2 json.loads(response.rendered_content) works just fine, but in python 3 I had to add .decode("utf-8"):

         # save to log
         try:
-            self.request.log.response = json.loads(response.rendered_content)
+            self.request.log.response = response.rendered_content.decode("utf-8")
         except Exception as w:
