django-debug-toolbar VS django-webpack-loader

The reason behind this splitting is that we can safely use packages and related settings only where we need. For example, this starter kit has the package django-debug-toolbar. This is only intended for your development environment and not for your production. This can be very risky if used in production because if your Django project encounters errors, all the debug info will be shown to the user which is a severe security risk. Similarly, for tracking errors in production, we're using Sentry which is not needed in our local environment since we already have django-debug-toolbar. For keeping these settings file separate so that they don't conflict with each other, the settings file is split for serving different environments.

https://github.com/jazzband/django-debug-toolbar Allows you to check which sql queries are being run on your app. See if they are optimized first.

Perhaps try the django-debug-toolbar. It might be able to tell you what is causing the slow load time.

I would start with https://github.com/jazzband/django-debug-toolbar and figure out what causes the slowness.

Django Webpack Loader

Check out https://github.com/django-webpack/django-webpack-loader

About one month ago i started having a lot of doubts on my frontend. At first, instead of decoupling frontend from backend, i decided to use a library called django-webpack-loader that lets me serve webpack from Django templates, so i created a Vue app and served it from Django (i used a simple index.html view). So at this point i basically have a SPA that instead of being decoupled from Django, it's served by Django.

You can do this with Django and nothing else easily or you can use a third party library called Django-Webpack-Loader.

In addition to what's already been said (completely separate frontend & backend; or do a CDN include), I've worked in a codebase that uses django-webpack-loader.

The biggest challenge to using Django with React IMO is getting the right blend of isomorphic rendering down. I don't want to go full SPA with Django as this defeats the purpose of Django IMO. Most parts of the site I want server-rendered, while in stateful parts I want React. So, let's say I have a site with 20 different React "apps" (i.e. stateful components) that I want to distribute amongst my various Django sections (Django "Apps" within the same project). And I want to do that with one webpackconfig. How do I tell my webpack where to put all those react bundles? The answer I've found is django-webpack-loader[1], however as you can see in the Issues section, one of the biggest limitations here is the inability to chunk React (and other issues).

Does anyone have a solution they like for this kind of isomporphic Django problem?
