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](https://elementsapp.io/) 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](https://elementsapp.io/) 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](https://elementsapp.io/) site.

While we don’t have any **direct integration with Django** , you can still connect your [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) 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](https://elementsapp.io/) 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.
