Guide on how to create and set up a Dockerized web app using Django REST APIs and ReactJS

Hopefully this will answer "How do I setup or start a Django project using REST Framework and ReactJS?"

This is a guide to show you step by step how this can be setup. If you just want to get started, use the cookiecuter I set up cookiecutter-django-reactjs. It basically is a fork of pydanny's cookiecutter, just added the front-end stuff :).

I created this because it was SUCH a pain in the ass setting up a project using all the latest technologies. After some research, I figured it out and have it working. The repo that implements this is located here. Feel free to use it as a boilerplate ;)

Main features:

Django REST APIs

	###
	#Step 1 - Generate server certificates etc... (most of this code is horribly ripped off from nodejs docs currently -> http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/tls.html)
	###

	#Assuming your starting from a clean directory

	mkdir server
	cd server

	#generate private key

	// find all elements with a z-index and indicate what they are.
	// uses css outline which is not supported in IE <8

	function contrast(color){ return '#' +
	(Number('0x'+color.substr(1)).toString(10) > 0xffffff/2 ? '000000' : 'ffffff');
	}

	jQuery('*')
	.filter(function(){ return $(this).css('zIndex') !== 'auto'; })
	.each(function(){

	// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
	console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console
