## What it is
A minimal project template combining Django with Django REST Framework on the backend and a Vue.js single-page application on the frontend. It keeps the two frameworks cleanly separated, with Django serving the API, static files, and admin, while Vue CLI handles frontend bundling and routing.

## Use cases
- start a new django and vue single page app project
- scaffold a rest api backend with a vue frontend
- template for building a spa with django rest framework
- serve a vue app from django with whitenoise
- deploy a django vue app to heroku
- example project structure for separating django backend and vue frontend

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, unopinionated django + vue starting point
- you prefer vue cli and webpack for the frontend with django only as an api backend
- you need a quick heroku-deployable django/vue setup

## When to avoid
- you use react, angular, or another frontend framework instead of vue
- you want server-side rendering or django-rendered templates
- you need a full-featured, actively maintained cookiecutter with auth, docker, and CI included
- you prefer flask or another backend framework
