Django x Next.js / an open source boilerplate is here.
Using:
- Django-Ninja
- API forwarded requests via Next.js
- JWT Auth
- ShadCN
- Tailwind
The modern generative ai tooling for frontend is so much designed around Next.js (especially v0). This is for good reason, Next.js is a powerful frontend React.js framework with routing, data fetching support, server-side rendering, and more.
Django’s backend is here for whatever frontend changes AI might bring while giving you Python for backend logic, built-in user management, and a thriving third-party ecosystem.
TailwindCSS and ShadCN are also excellent design libraries that I have baked in to this boilerplate.
