README.md

This is a gist for easier discover and pointing to a buried repo

In my explorations for https://github.com/twolfson/if-i-were-to-build-a-startup-web-app, I created a demo repo with:

  • Django
  • django-allauth (so you don't have to create all your auth from scratch, as so many demos require)
  • React

The repo is: https://github.com/twolfson/if-i-were-to-build-a-startup-web-app/tree/main/explorations/4-django-allauth-react-proxy

Additionally, it has security best practices like cookies, with HttpOnly and SameSite

I don't actually recommend this setup as your first choice for a startup, since you're reimplementing an API to be the only consumer of.

But if you're overly enthusiastic about it, it's your best bet for rapid standup, with progressive introduction of React based auth
