Angular 6 / Django Rest Framework / CSRF demo app

This is a demo app showing how to make API calls with Angular 6 and Django Rest Framework, including how to send CSRF headers so API calls will function when logged in.

What this repo contains

The following files are interesting:

• angular_django_cors - The Django project and main settings file
• spaceships - An app within the project, containing the Django Rest Framework views and URL routing
• static/ng-demo - The Angular app source code lives here
• static/dist - The compiled Angular app is here

Requirements

You need the following to run this app:

• Python 3.5 or higher (Python 2.x is not supported)
• Virtualenv installed globally
• Node v8.x or higher
• NPM v5.x or higher

Setup

Linux or macOS:

Open a terminal at the repo root, and run the following:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd static/ng-demo
npm install
ng build
cd ../..
python manage.py runserver

Your app will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Windows:

Most of the commands above should work the same on Windows. I have personally had no luck getting Virtualenv to work on Windows, so I've always had to install all the Python packages globally. Your mileage may vary.

Database

This project uses a SQLite database, which lives in the file db.sqlite3. SQLite3 support should be available out of the box on most modern operating systems.

Questions?

If you spot an error when trying to run the demo app, please file a bug in the GitHub issue tracker.

Please do not create issues or email me asking for support for your own projects. I cannot provide support for your custom applications.
