Set Up Django Backend First, make sure your Django backend is set up and running.
Set Up React Frontend with Vite Next, create your React frontend using Vite
Enable CORS in Django To allow your React frontend to communicate with your Django backend, you need to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). You can use the django-cors-headers package:
pip install django-cors-headers
Then, add it to your settings.py:
python INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'corsheaders', ... ]
MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'corsheaders.middleware.CorsMiddleware', ... ]
CORS_ALLOW_ALL_ORIGINS = True # For development only. Use a whitelist in production.
Create API Endpoints in Django Set up your Django REST framework to create API endpoints that your React app can consume. You can follow the Django REST framework documentation for this.
Fetch Data from Django API in React In your React app, use the fetch API or a library like Axios to fetch data from your Django backend
Build and Deploy When you’re ready to deploy, build your React app using Vite
