django-flette

Minimalist wedding between django and flet Live demo

Implementation of a minimalist pure python frontend/backend POC based on django and flet

• no DRF but a simple json view
• reuse of the flet "todo" sample
• a unique API function: initial loading of tasks corresponding to the names of django groups in base

flet client generation

# can modify this in todo/main.py
API_URL = "https://MYSITE/api/"
# or with same origin
API_URL = None

cd todo
# --web-renderer html : lighter client
flet build web --base-url frontend --web-renderer html -o ../static/web
cd ..
zip static

Installation (dev local)

python manage.py migrate
# populate: user admin(admin) & groups/tasks
python manage.py loaddata data.yaml

# frontend & backend (same origin)
python manage.py runserver 

# separate frontend (desktop mode)
flet run -p 8001 main.py

# separate frontend (browser)
flet run -p 8001 --web main.py
