I like this setup, but I had kinda thought "modern" javascript had mostly moved to server-side rendered at this point and I didn't see anything about that in the syllabus. Anyone know if this tutorial addresses that kind of thing? EDIT: Nevermind I guess this is the HTMX example? But how would this compare to manually building something with next.js as part of your front-end build and incorporating those assets into your templates?

You can do essentially the same thing with Next or Nuxt.js With Next.js now it is very easy and elegant to load up data from your Django server in a React Server Component. You can also build entire static pages manually from the same API. Here is an excerpted example from the same simple template I posted in response to an earlier comment - https://github.com/ospira/docker-django-react-example/blob/main/react/src/app/page.tsx#L4-L6 https://github.com/ospira/docker-django-react-example/blob/m... If doing this as part of a production pipeline you would have to ensure some version of your Django API (hopefully the latest one) is present before deploying the Next.js app, so that the data is available for Next to do things like fully static pages.
