Guide on how to create and set up a Dockerized web app using Django REST APIs and ReactJS

Hopefully this will answer "How do I setup or start a Django project using REST Framework and ReactJS?"

This is a guide to show you step by step how this can be setup. If you just want to get started, use the cookiecuter I set up cookiecutter-django-reactjs. It basically is a fork of pydanny's cookiecutter, just added the front-end stuff :).

I created this because it was SUCH a pain in the ass setting up a project using all the latest technologies. After some research, I figured it out and have it working. The repo that implements this is located here. Feel free to use it as a boilerplate ;)

Main features:

• Django REST APIs

# This specifies the deployment process on AWS ElasticBeanstalk for a Django app using npm and Postgres.
#
# The target environment should have access to a Postgres Database through environment variables.
# The environment can be setup using `eb create --database.engine=postgres`
# The necessary environment variables to access the database will be automatically defined on the
# instances of that environment.
#
# In addition, the target environment should define environment variables (django secret key ...).
# They can be manually defined using the AWS ElasticBeanstalk interface on the web.
# They can also be specified when creating the environment from command line, for example:
