When are frontend docs coming?

[MichaelNZ85]

Thanks for the great build - really appreciate it!

When is the official guide for setting up Django with Inertia coming? I've managed to get it going with React and Vue, but I'm struggling with Svelte. I'd appreciate some documentation.

If you're up and running with both React and Vue then you've gone further than me 😄

I'd like to get some front end documentation up soon, but I don't really like the current Vite landscape in Django from what I've seen so that's blocking me a bit. Are you having trouble with the initial setup in Svelte or is it an inertia specific issue?

@BrandonShar what about the current Vite landscape in Django that you don’t like? Curious to know in case it’s something that anyone can help with

I too would appreciate some documentation or small example from a "project truth" level if that makes sense? I've found a video tutorial and example repo of vite + vue in use but its all at project level. I'm finding it hard to imagine the "right" way of using this in the context of a django app or if project level is where this should be because it relates to rendering?

I appreciate this question veers towards project layout and design rather than how to use a package but I tend to take the weight of the opinions of the authors of the packages I use more than what other peer developers do with the package as my ethos is "you wrote it you probably have an idea how you expected people to use it"

Also sorry for using github issues to post more of a question/opinion, i couldn't find anywhere else to post this and it seems relevant to use this frontend docs issue rather than open a thread when its related.

@gtechjsanders, here is a boilerplate project for Django and Vue that you can try out. Sending data to Django doesn't seem to work at the moment, due to a CSRF issue. Hopefully that will be resolved soon though.

I realize this is a few years old, so people may have found a solution but I was also trying to get it working so I created a configurable template once I got it working: https://github.com/SarthakJariwala/django-vite-inertia
