Hello All…I am an older Classic user from version 6 looking to come back to the fold.
The biggest remaining question is I am currently developing a Django app and was planning on hand coding the web front end but am wondering if Elements plays well with Django.
Has anyone used Element as a front end for a Python/Django for this purpose? If so how did it work?
Thank you for your help!
I haven’t, but I’m sure you could add Elements into your workflow. Will be interested to hear how you get on…
I’m guessing your Django app has some kind of API?
If so, you can absolutely fetch data from that API using JavaScript or PHP, and then render the content within your Elements site.
While we don’t have any direct integration with Django, you can still connect your Elements project to Django-powered data using standard web techniques — as long as your API is accessible, you can pull in and display the data using client-side JavaScript or server-side PHP.
In short: if your Django app exposes an API, you can hook it up to Elements components with no problem.
Thank you. I will be making the purchase in the next day or so and will be doing some preliminary tests by the end of the week.
Honestly, I am confident it is going to work.
Thank you for your reply. This makes perfect sense. I am confident it will work…confident enough to make the purchase as soon as time allows.
