Description

Currently, there's no easy way for developers to understand the available API endpoints and how to use them. Adding Swagger/OpenAPI documentation would improve the developer experience and provide interactive API documentation.

Implementation Details

  1. Install and configure drf-spectacular or drf-yasg in the Django backend
  2. Add OpenAPI schema generation to the Django settings
  3. Add appropriate docstrings and annotations to API views and serializers
  4. Configure a URL endpoint to serve the Swagger UI
  5. Generate static documentation for offline use
  6. Update the README with links to the API documentation

Benefits

  • Interactive documentation for API endpoints
  • Improved developer onboarding experience
  • Self-documenting API that stays in sync with the code
  • Testing interface for API endpoints
  • Better collaboration between frontend and backend teams

Testing

  • Verify all endpoints are properly documented
  • Test the Swagger UI functionality
  • Ensure authentication is properly configured in the documentation
  • Validate the OpenAPI schema against the specification
