API Serializers

• Read the guideline before starting.

• Use the following command to load prepared data from fixture to test and debug your code:

  python manage.py loaddata cinema_service_db_data.json

In this task you will implement serializers and views for the following models:

1. Genre
2. Actor
3. CinemaHall
4. Movie
5. MovieSession

For every <entity> from actors, genres, cinema_halls, movies, movie_sessions such endpoints should be implemented:

• GET api/cinema/<entity>/ - should return a list of the all entity items
• POST api/cinema/<entity>/ - should create a new entity based on passed data
• GET api/cinema/<entity>/<pk>/ - should return an entity with given id
• PUT api/cinema/<entity>/<pk>/ - should update the entity with given id based on passed data
• DELETE api/cinema/<entity>/<pk>/ - should delete the entity with given id

Additional requirements:

1. For the list movie endpoint, genres and actors should be returned as lists of strings. "genres" list should contain names of the genres, and the "actors" list should contain full names of actors and actresses. Example:

GET api/cinema/movies/ 

HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "title": "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone",
        "description": "The first movie about Harry Potter",
        "duration": 210,
        "genres": [
            "drama"
        ],
        "actors": [
            "Emma Watson",
            "Daniel Radcliffe"
        ]
    }
]

2. At the same time movie detail endpoint should provide complete information about the genres and actors.

Example:

GET /api/cinema/movies/1/

HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept

{
    "id": 1,
    "title": "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone",
    "description": "The first movie about Harry Potter",
    "duration": 210,
    "genres": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "drama"
        }
    ],
    "actors": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "first_name": "Emma",
            "last_name": "Watson",
            "full_name": "Emma Watson"
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "first_name": "Daniel",
            "last_name": "Radcliffe",
            "full_name": "Daniel Radcliffe"
        }
    ]
}

3. For movies_session list endpoint you should return the following information:
   • "id" - the id of the movie session;
   • "show_time" - the start time of the session
   • "movie_title" - the title of the movie
   • "cinema_hall_name" - the name of the cinema hall for the session
   • "cinema_hall_capacity" - the capacity of the cinema hall for the session

Example:

GET /api/cinema/movie_sessions/

HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept

[
    {
        "id": 2,
        "show_time": "2023-07-22T12:15:00Z",
        "movie_title": "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban",
        "cinema_hall_name": "Green",
        "cinema_hall_capacity": 150
    },
    {
        "id": 1,
        "show_time": "2022-06-15T12:25:00Z",
        "movie_title": "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone",
        "cinema_hall_name": "Black",
        "cinema_hall_capacity": 300
    }
]

4. At the same time for the movie session detail endpoint, complete information about the movie should be provided.

Example:

GET /api/cinema/movie_sessions/1/

HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept

{
    "id": 1,
    "show_time": "2022-06-15T12:25:00Z",
    "movie": {
        "id": 1,
        "title": "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone",
        "description": "The first movie about Harry Potter",
        "duration": 210,
        "genres": [
            "drama"
        ],
        "actors": [
            "Emma Watson",
            "Daniel Radcliffe"
        ]
    },
    "cinema_hall": {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Black",
        "rows": 20,
        "seats_in_row": 15,
        "capacity": 300
    }
}

Hint: Use ModelViewSet to create views.

Run tests through the terminal using pytest
