How to organize the work of the frontender in a project with django?

Question

Django

For some time I was working on a project written in django, there were two full-stack + developers. Now there is a need to scale the team - to hire a front-end developer.

The entire front of the project is very much tied to django templates, full of loops, block tags, etc., which the front obviously does not know. Hence the question - how to organize the work of the front-end? Is it worth it once to collect all the files for him in regular html or are there easier solutions?

Answer 1

There are many options. Quite often I worked in a mode where the front gives me fish, and I make patterns out of them. Faced with a variant when the front mastered the language of the template engine, since it is quite primitive. And a very common option in our time is to abandon the template engine. The backend is simply a rest service, from which the frontend receives data and renders pages on its own.

Answer 2

Look for a Django front-end developer or tell the regular one about it all
