Need Backend Help/Guidance

[slim perch]

Hi, I am building a discord bot in Python and it's dashboard using React, the frontend part is all clear, but the problem is with backend, I will be coding it's backend in Django but I don't even have a clue how will I do that, can someone please guide me? (I'll be learning Django for backend starting tomorrow)

Insert generic are you sure Django is the right choice for you? question here

I think the Django quickstart documentation available at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/intro/tutorial01/ is quite decent so I'd start there 🙂

Is this a school project?

I think Django will be great for the backend for the project

It's a personal project

Especially in that case I'd probably go for a different framework but that might just be personal preference

My first choice is django because of its strong framework with REST api

[echo oyster]

FastAPI and Flask are arguably more easy to understand and less of a hassle to set up 🤔

Here's the FastAPI quickstart code:

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

But use whatever you feel like 🙂

That's true, but I actually have quite some experience with REST, so that's why I wanna use that

Still man, thanks for your time

REST has nothing to do with the framework 🤨
