The reason I wanted Django was to insure that the data is valid (using
python). When they enter the data and the submit button is clicked I
want to be able to modify the response using python.
So what I'm hearing from the list - is that in general - people are not
using the Django template system. Is that right?
I have been doing a little research and have discovered a couple of
javascript tools that allow multi - windows/forms/dialogs/frames. But
then - like you said - I'm replacing the Django template system.
It seems that web UI is still not up to the desktop abilities. That's
not good. BTW I was looking at Electron and discovered that it can
easily match the desktop multi-window and it's using web tech. So I'm
guessing it is possible but not often requested.

Hi,
I think you are not thinking this completely through correctly.
Django is a framework used to generate HTML pages. HTML pages render
one page at a time in one webbrowser window. That is the way HTML works.
You can via javascript do some funky things, like Single page
applications - but then most of the templating engine in django isn't
used. You could create templates on the backend and send them via ajax
to the frontend but that is mainly used for rendering partial pages
and not for complete pages. Also, it would be really cumbersome to
write the code.
If you already have a REST backend, why do you need django at all?
Django isn't the best framework for getting information from a REST
API and then publishing the information. You really should be looking
into running a single page application in that case...
Django can be used to create a REST backend for the single page
application however.

I have the backend covered with REST. When I try to google
hybrid google comes up with hybrid mobile apps. I did find
fragment.js but I don't see any type of real information on how to
use it. I did find some info on javascript and multi-windows but
here again it looks like it wants to replace the template system
that Django uses.
It just seems to me that this issue must have come up in the
past. There must be a solution provided by Django without
replacing parts of the Django framework????

Hi.
Yes and no. Usually you do SPA, a single page application, that
just talks to backend, Django in this case, using some means.
REST api and JSON data is quite common.
So basically you need only one template that fires up rest of
your interface.
There are though alternative approaches like using hybrid of JS
library to request HTML fragments and render them using JS.
Fragments then are generated using templates.

But doesn't Django provide the template system? Do you
replace the template system with DoyuoToolkit?

Hi,
This actually doesn't have anything to do with Django,
but frontend. Basically you need to pick some Javascript
UI framework that supports features you're after.
Personally I've only used Dojotoolkit (free, nicely
licensed) and ExtJS (commercial).

Hi,
I have a desktop CRUD application that allows the
same form to be opened many times. Example: I can
open a customer's (A) record in one window/form and
then from the first window/form (customer A's) open a
second or third window to process customer B or
customer C etc... all without closing any of the
windows/forms. IOW I can have many windows open at
the same time all using the same form with different
customer records.
How can I do this with Django? I would like to
replace the desktop app with a web app using Django.
