(Based on: https://github.com/18F/docker-compose-django-react)

This is a app prototype, for my personal use only. It consist of Django REST API (CRUD functionality) and React frontend (work in progress).

1. docker-compose build
2. docker-compose up
3. There should now be two servers running:

• http://127.0.0.1:8000 is the Django app
• http://127.0.0.1:3000 is the React app

4. docker-compose run --rm django python3 manage.py migrate

• GET /api/posts posts list
• POST /api/posts create a new post
• GET /api/posts/:id get post detail
• PATCH /api/posts/:id update post
• PUT /api/posts/:id rewrite post
• DELETE /api/posts/:id delete post

If you want to run a one-off command, like installing dependencies, you can use the docker-compose run <service_name> <cmd>.

For example, to install a Javascript dependency and save that information to package.json we could run: docker-compose run --rm frontend npm install --save axios

If you want to be on a shell for one of the Docker services, you can do something like: docker-compose run --rm frontend bash
