How to develop backend and frontend separately?

Question

JavaScript

Good time.

I have a need to develop a website. There is a smart frontend developer. I will be in charge of the backend. But then I realized that I do not understand how to separate these two niches.

What I think is the easiest way to do it: we will file a common git and we will each shit-code in our daddy / brunch, it is in templates / statics. I am wherever possible ... then merge into the develop branch, then into master. Nothing else comes to mind. If I don’t care about templates at all, then how can he collect his files (npm, grunt, js ... what else will he use there ...).

Perhaps the work needs to be organized in a different way. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Definitely different repositories.
On the backend only API.
On the Single page application front.

Answer 2

In a good way, the
frontender saws the templates in djangoproj/templates/{css,js,img}
the back is sawn - by default
you show the Frontender how to do ./manage.py runserver
You can merge directly into the master, because you should not have conflicts
