Django + React Introduction

This project is broken up into a backend and frontend. The backend contains the Django project which uses the Django Rest Framework to host a simple API. The frontend uses React and queries data from the API.

To get started:

Inside one terminal navigate to backend, create a virtualenv with virtualenv env, activate it and install the project requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt. Make sure the virtualenv path is set in the following manner according to your setup:

    "python.venvPath": "${workspaceFolder}/env/bin/python3"

In another terminal navigate to frontend, install the dependencies using npm i and run the server with npm start. Head to http://localhost:3000 to see the application.
