Wagtail - React Starter Template
This project uses Django-based Wagtail CMS for the backend with a React fronted and Redux store that connects to its page API.
It currently has page types ready to be added for a basic Portfolio type website with a Blog.
See it in action here --> mazurbeam.com To download and run with the dev server:
git clone https://github.com/mazurbeam/wagtail-react-project.git
cd wagtail-react-project
// make your python virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 ~/.virtualenvs/wagtail-react-project
source ~/.virtualenvs/wagtail-react-project/bin/activate
with virtualenv activated and inside the project directory
pip install -r requirements.txt
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py createsuperuser
./manage.py runserver
in another terminal starting in the project directory:
cd frontend
yarn install
yarn run
to build for production:
yarn build
You'll get the standard message to view at localhost:3000 but it will be accessible from Django at localhost:8000 with hot swapping enabled.
Access the wagtail admin at localhost:8000/admin/
- be sure to explicitly add the slash '/' at the end or else it will load the frontend app.
For deployment, add a local.py in the Django settings folder with SECRET_KEY and Database settings.
