Django API Development Project

Overview

Welcome to the Django API Development Project! This project focuses on building a robust API with CRUD operations using the Django framework. The goal is to create an efficient and scalable API that interacts seamlessly with your database.

Features

• CRUD Operations: Implement Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations to manage your data effectively.
• Django ORM: Leverage Django's powerful Object-Relational Mapping to interact with the database effortlessly.
• RESTful Endpoints: Design RESTful API endpoints for intuitive and standardized communication with your application.
• Authentication and Authorization: Ensure secure access with Django's built-in authentication and authorization features.
• Documentation: Create clear and concise API documentation using tools like Swagger or DRF.

Project Structure

• /api: Core directory for API development.
• /models: Define Django models for your data.
• /views: Implement views to handle HTTP requests and responses.
• /serializers: Serialize data for smooth communication between the API and client.

Getting Started

• Install Django: pip install django
• Create a new Django project: django-admin startproject myproject
• Create a new app within your project: python manage.py startapp myapp

Define models in models.py and migrate the database:

• python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate
• Implement views in views.py for CRUD operations.
• Create serializers in serializers.py to convert complex data types into native Python data types.

Usage

Run the development server: python manage.py runserver

• Access the API endpoints at http://localhost:8000/website/.
• for json form API at http://localhost:8000/drinks/.

Documentation

Explore the API documentation to understand available endpoints, request methods, and data formats. Use tools like Swagger or DRF to maintain comprehensive and user-friendly documentation.
