Say what you want about the arguably unnecessary proliferation of complex JavaScript applications / build pipelines upon the Internet over the past 5 or so years, but there’s no denying it’s becoming a necessary component in a large portion of complex web projects.
I also think that—if it hasn’t already been done so already—the Django documentation should at least contain a passing acknowledgement of this, as well as some guidance on how to accomplish this. Compare this to the latest iteration of Rails (I’ve never done more than take a passing glance at the framework’s progress and am certainly no expert) which includes a full webpack JS / asset pipeline as standard. I’m aware of the philosophical differences between Django and Rails, and I’m not necessary saying that bolting on Webpack was the right decision, but it’s certainly speaks to how ‘back end’ framework development could lend a helping hand beginners with a project that lends itself to a JS / API-driven approach.

It seems to me to be good idea to place "How do I get Django and my JS framework to work together?" or similar question and answer to it in FAQ in Django's docs. Having very big popularity of JS frameworks now it is indeed very common question being asked or searched on the Internet. Such question for ReactJS has 65k views on StackOverflow [1]. The answer could briefly explain that one can make use of Django backend and produce API to be consumed by JS clients. Probably it would be good to link to Django REST API project as a suggestion for big projects. What do you think about such addition to FAQ?
