3w: Create API

[batpad]

Relates to #443 - based on the frontend for the 3w data, create API endpoints to:

• Get all Projects for a Country
• Edit existing Project (permissions based on Submitting National Society)
• Add Project (permissions based on National Society user is logged in with?)

Good idea.
Let's see the details, what do we include into a Project?

@szabozoltan69 I have created the tickets for what we need on the frontend - the form and the visualization.

We will need an API end-point to receive all the details from the form and Create a New Project, based on the model in the database.

We will probably also need an API end-point to EDIT an existing form.

Also, an end-point where we can pass a Country, and it returns all Projects for that Country, with all the details that are in the model.

I think the rest of the filters, etc. can just be implemented directly on the frontend. So, for a start:

• Endpoint to receive POST data from client and save a new Project
• Endpoint to receive PUT data from client and edit an existing Project
• Endpoint to receive GET request from client with Country parameter, returning all Projects for that country (This will be something like Project.objects.filter(district__country=<country>)

We may also need to implement some Permission model so, for example, only a user who belongs to the national society of the reporting_national_society is allowed to post a Project as that National Society. I will get more details of the exact permission model here.

@szabozoltan69 let me know if you might be able to take on any of this work.

@batpad I can begin to create endpoints for POST and GET parts, later the others.

@szabozoltan69 that sounds fantastic! Let me know if there is anything I can help with - I have started digging into the frontend code and hopefully will be able to start making progress on the form and then the frontend to talk to the APIs.

If I am right, I should do it in the "3w" branch.

[szabozoltan69]

I created the first end-point and some tests also, which can be run in the vm via
./manage.py test -k w3
(or simply ./manage.py test -k – for all test cases, or docker-compose run --rm test (outside the vm)

This is done in #451

Great work, @szabozoltan69 !
