I am not a student at university any more. I (unfortunately) can't do programming adventures at the moment.
I won't go this route as long there is no JS-framework which helps me to render HTML forms of the data in the browser which was serialized using django-rest-framework. Of course the next step (from browser back to drf, to db) needs to exist as well. Strange, that there is no JS-framework which builds a bridge between drf and some other JS-framework (angular, ember, ...) The only thing I found was this: https://github.com/drf-forms/drf-schema-adapter Regards, Thomas Güttler Am Donnerstag, 31.
