This repository contains a basic Django setup for applying CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations in an API. It uses Django and Django Rest Framework to create a simple API for managing movies. Follow the instructions below to set up and run the project.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following requirements installed:

Django
Django Rest Framework
Requests

You can install these dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Getting Started

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/auscode/testdjango.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd testdjango

Migrate the database:

python manage.py migrate

Create a superuser for accessing the Django admin interface:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the prompts to create a superuser account.

Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

The development server will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

API Endpoints

This project provides the following API endpoints for managing movies:

GET /movies/: Retrieve a list of all movies.
POST /movies/: Create a new movie.
GET /movies/{id}/: Retrieve details of a specific movie.
PUT /movies/{id}/: Update details of a specific movie.
DELETE /movies/{id}/: Delete a specific movie.

Usage

You can use tools like curl, Postman, or write your own client to interact with the API. Here is an example of creating a new movie using curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "name": "URI",
    "description": "A war-ridden movie"
}' http://127.0.0.1:8000/movies/

Feel free to modify and expand upon this basic setup to meet your specific requirements for CRUD operations in your Django API.
