Django-REST-Protoype

A simple django rest API, nothing exciting. Angular is used for the front end to make the API calls and to make it a single page application

Generating Token key for API

There is another way of doing this, which seemed too complicated to do, but this works and provided some form of authentication (and its only a prototype!)

python manage.py createsuperuser

Create the superuser for the app
Download Postman
Open postman
Make a POST request to the the url => http://127.0.0.1:8000/snippets/ (make sure the server is running, and insert something like code in the key and print("post") in the value
Go to the authorization tab, and select Type Basic Auth and enter username and password for the superuser
Click code (this is directly below the save button)
You're code will appear as 'Authorization: Basic "the_code"'
Use "the_code" to enter in the angular form (the angular code will insert this as a nescessary header)
