I think the best way to write a django project ASAP is to use cookiecutter-django.

Cookiecutter-django configures all these features for you in a second.

You can do both SPAs and MPAs using it.

General case libs.

• dj-stripe for payments.

In the case of MPA:

• Use Tailwind, bulma, or bootstrap (but default bootstrap). If you want to replace bootstrap with something else take a look at tailwind branch of this repo.
• You may want to add react or vue components in django templates for interactive parts of your website. I think vue is a better fit because you can write templates right inside the django template. Maybe this will affect SSR.
  • Vanilla JS may be enough for your project, think twice before using vue/react.
  • And do not use angular for it.
  • Remember that Netflix ended up removing react and writing vanilla JS in some parts of their web application.

  • disable JS and go to reddit.com

In case of SPA:

• Activate DRF option creating cookiecutter-django project
• Consider using djoser to handle authentication for you. I'm not sure if it works with knox tokens, but there are other tokenauthentication classes with multi-device support.
• Think about Session vs Token authentication.
• Consider using drf-yasg.
• Consider using django-filter.
• See cookiecutter-drf.
• Any frontend framework. While choosing it, think about SSR and why are you making a SPA and not an MPA. Maybe there's no need to build a SPA and it would be easier and more efficient to use old technologies, they're not bad. Read rendering on the web

• See https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/32855, https://github.com/angular/preboot/issues/75 . Angular has a huge FOUC problem and it's still not fixed.
