Front-End Integration

Asset Management

Use Django's static files framework for managing CSS, JavaScript, and images. Store static assets in app-specific static/ folders and collect them with collectstatic.

• Use hashed filenames for cache busting.
• Organize assets by feature or app.

Framework Integration

Integrate front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, Alpine.js) using Django's template system or via APIs (Django REST Framework).

• Use Webpack, Vite, or similar tools for bundling assets.
• Serve built assets from the static directory.

Best Practices

• Minimize and bundle assets for production.
• Use CDN for serving static files in production.
• Document asset structure and build steps for new team members.
• Write tests for critical front-end functionality.
