This project is built by working through tutorials from Django and django-rest-framework

RESTful Architecture style with Django + React

RESTful Client - written in React

REST consumer: mysite-react

RESTful Server - written in Python Django

REST provider

1. ORM support - DB manipulation via code
2. Migration - DB versioning, code first
3. Routing - Parse and delegate HTTP request

Django does not come with RESTful support by default. In order to do this, include django-rest-framework or flask to app dependencies. This project takes django-rest-framework.
