This is also my first time to create such a full function app/website, i have lack of knowledge to connect all together and is there any resources that could help me with this?

Answer 1

If you're already familiar with js you can just use node js for the back end to create an API and make API calls from the front end to get data from the back end which gets data from the databases.

Answer 2

I recommend django backend. You may not need anything for the frontend. I usually dont use but its up to you to use eg. Reactjs or vue. However i do recommend bootstrap studio for the design.

The reason why I like django backend more than nodejs is that django is already built for these kind of applications. It got nice CMS and ORM that you can use with mysql or sqlite without extra configurations. It got authentication apis etc. You wouldn't need to build a lot of apis yourself

Nodejs would work too but django is better for web application. With nodjes you would need to build a lot more by yourself. Like url routings, static file serving, jwt authentication etc

django also have a nice templating engine where you can render your html with the data from the backend
