Thermopyle posted:

I'm whipping together a Django backend that exposes a CRUD RESTful API that has about a dozen models with various relations. The backend serves no HTML at all.

I'm going to put together a web frontend and I'm looking to try some new JS libraries/framework. Just looking to expand my toolbelt and learn some new stuff or maybe become more familiar with things I've dabbled with before.

Any recommendations for anything you like for managing the backend and frontend objects and keeping them in sync?

I pretty much do this exact thing at work for a living. All my recent projects have been django rest framework back ends with so e pretty heavy angular front ends (for dashboards and data tabley kind of apps). Angular and drf go very very well together and while the mentioned restangular lib does indeed work pretty well, rolling your own angular service for your API is also super easy and is also a good way to teach yourself more about how to properly structure an angular application and such. You can do a lot with just $http and a few models.
