Is it possible to apply Wagtail CMS to my existing Django project?












1















I recently found wagtail, which is a very cool Django CMS library. I tried to use it following its documentation, but its installing documentation is based on starting-over Django project.



I'm using ReactJS for frontend and Django as API backend. I was wondering if it's possible for me to apply wagtail to my existing Django project.

          • Thank you for the link. It let me access wagtail CMS on my existing Django app. However, I don't see my models on the CMS which are the models that I can see on my default Django admin. Are they not compatible each other?

            No, the Wagtail admin backend is a separate thing from Django admin. The Modeladmin module is one option for making your Django models available within Wagtail admin, though: docs.wagtail.io/en/stable/reference/contrib/modeladmin/…

          • You should use Wagtail's admin-pages to do "all Wagtail things." Don't monkey around with them in the Django admin. Be sure that your URL-patterns occur before any Wagtail patterns (and, that they are distinct from them). Otherwise, "Wagtail's just a Django app," and it works quite well. (I've also used Peregrine, a dedicated blog-app, simultaneously with Wagtail.) The beauty of Django is that you have ... choices.
