This is a mid-level tutorial for making Django and React work together. It's not like taping a banana to a wall. Get over it and build something useful. It was a major pain in the ass when we did it for my startup Lollipop.ai the first time. The completed code lives on GitHub here and you can just flip through branches to see the code at each step (1–1, 1–2, so on)Part 1: Django: Creating a Django Custom User. Part 2: Installing React inside our Django project as a standalone app. Preparing React for Authentication, with routing, and the signup & login forms. Logging out & blacklisting tokens
