vue-django-webpack-boilerplate

@NdagiStanley has mirrored the fork to have this repo here. This starterpack has proved useful to many and I thank you for the emails I have received from all of you. The reasoning behind this mirror is that; this is an effort to support the users more by developing further on this project. From here on, I am calling on all potential collaborators by making it easier to make PRs and adding the utility of Issues in this 'new' repo (Of course with the same name 😀 ). Lastly, just so you know, I'll be keeping up with developments in the original.

Vue CLI Version Notice

If you are using [email protected], it will be pulling the master branch of this template by default. If you are using [email protected], it will be pulling the dist branch instead, which provides more configurable options thanks to new features in [email protected]. It is recommended to upgrade vue-cli as soon as you can.

Coverage Status

https://vuedjango.herokuapp.com/ is a deployed instance of this boilerplate.

Vue-Django Docs offer a more comprehensive documentation.

Usage of VueDjango

This is a project template that includes VueJS and Django based on the vue-cli templates. It is recommended to use npm 3+ for a more efficient dependency tree.

$ npm install -g vue-cli

Set up

You might want to use sudo if you encounter permissions error

$ vue init NdagiStanley/vue-django my-project  # Follow the prompts
$ cd my-project
$ npm install

Develop

Run:

$ npm run dev

The app runs on localhost:8080

Update the files as you wish and the hot-reload will take effect. Add js and css files within the static folder in the root directory. Link them to the index.html in that same level (the root directory).

Run the Django server

Have Python installed and preferably use a virtual python environment for this.

Run:

$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ sh server.sh

(Run this command every time you make changes)

At localhost:8000 you should have a page exactly like the image below or as the deployed instance mentioned earlier: https://vuedjango.herokuapp.com/

Vue-Django

Docker

Ensure that docker is running.

If you use docker in your workflow, there is a Dockerfile in the root directory for you. Simply run

docker build -t [image-name] .

Use your preferred image name in place of the image-name in the command. Remember to enter the trailing period before running it.

There is a docker container for vue-django that you can run. Simply run the following command.

docker run -p 8000:8000 stanmd/vue-django

Then get to localhost:8000. You should have a page exactly like the image above
