Django backend (Preliminary)

[kaysoky]

• Setup Django backend
• Implement user registration and login forms
• STRETCH: Add some actual security to user login
• Implement API for data storage
• Implement API for data retrieval (Paginated)
• Implement static pages for map-based front end

@amberMZ The REST API for storing data is essentially complete. When you store data, you'll be making an HTTP POST.

Basic authentication is enough. In Python, you'd do:

import requests
import base64

requests.post('<ENDPOINT>/data/', data="<JSON DATA>", 
  headers={"Content-Type": "application/json", 
    'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % base64.b64encode('<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>')})
