Django-restframework learning

I've put all the files in sequence in the branches while I'm learning to use django as backend framework.

1st - Creating Django project

  • Created django project using command django-admin startproject learning

2nd - First API view/response

  • Created first api view, or we also call it api response
  • Create app name api via command python manage.py startapp api
  • return json response from url http://localhost:8000/home/

3rd - Returning back Data

  • Sending Json data from client side to server and handling it.
  • More like we send body in a POST request or QueryParams
  • Adding data like headers and content_type

4th - Django Model as API response

  • Create a separate app products
  • Make a model/object class in models.py
  • Migrate the models for DB

This will actually let's the django knows there's a new model to look for now:

  • python manage.py makemigration
  • python manage.py migrate

5th - Converting Model instance to python dict

  • import model_to_dict

6th - Converting api view to djangon rest framework view

  • Used @api_view() for DRF
  • Stuff like restricting methods GET, POST etc.
