Re: Need some advice on how to go about building a real time web app.

Personally I don't use any library between Angular and Django (so I don't know about django-angular).

I create specific templates for Angular so I don't have to change the {{ and }] syntax (you can also use the {% verbatim %} tag in your templates if you don't want to create individual templates).

If you want to do notifications with SwampDragon there is a blog post about that here: http://wildfish.com/blog/2014/12/09/swampdragon-real-time-django-notifications/ (including desktop notifications from the browser) along with a Github repo with the source code.

You could probably take most of that code and adopt it to your own project.

Hi group,

I'd like to get some guidance on how to go about thinking about the structure of the web app I'm trying to build.

From a high level perspective, I'm trying to make a web app that facilitates a small business doing camera rentals. 

To give a use case, if a user makes a rental booking for a customer in the web app, it'll send a notification to the user

who is in charge of packing the items in real-time. I was searching up about real-time Django and I landed onto 

Swampdragon, which led me to learn about Angular.js (I know, I don't have to use Angular for Swampdragon but I was

kinda curious). That then led me to learn how much I can shift items like validation to the client side and leave Django to 

do the rest. 

Some questions I'd like to ask: 

1) Am I adopting the right approach to make the app real time? In this case, using Swampdragon for subscribing to messages etc.

2) Is django-angular an appropriate way to integrate Angular.js with Django? It'd be nice to use a lot of the client side functionalities of Angular.

Curious and a little bit overwhelmed.
