I don't use Django but I use Ruby on Rails, and turning a server-side rendered page into an API is trivial. Rails requests automatically understand the format of a request and let you specify what do when a specific kind of format comes in: ie. when it's an html request, render this page, when it's a "js" request, render a jbuilder template. ezpz

whatever frontend framework you're using has really nothing to do with it at all.

Confirmed this is also trivial with Django, have done it to my crud, and even have a view that parses my url router for views and return an openapi definition with a swagger ui.

Do you use Django REST Framework with Web Swagger Console UI?

Nope, I have a view that parses my url router for views and generates an openapi schema, and a view that shows a swagger with it.
