djangorestframework quickstart

In this repository, I followed a Django tutorial from the official site. Here is the link: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/

This README provides the log what I've done with this repository. This repository also the result of my study in that tutorial.

Initial Steps

See this page to read the full explanation: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/

1. Create and run a Virtual Environment into your terminal

Let's start this learn by creating your virtual environment (venv). Please refer to this link to learn how to make one: https://gist.github.com/ryumada/c22133988fd1c22a66e4ed1b23eca233

2. Install packages

Install these packages below using this command:

pip install package-name

Required Packages

Python (3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10)
Django (2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0)
DjangoRESTframework

Optional Packages:

PyYAML, uritemplate (5.1+, 3.0.0+) - Schema generation support.
Markdown (3.0.0+) - Markdown support for the browsable API.
Pygments (2.4.0+) - Add syntax highlighting to Markdown processing.
django-filter (1.0.1+) - Filtering support.
django-guardian (1.1.1+) - Object level permissions support.

3. Create a Django Project

create a project called tutorial, with this command:

django-admin startproject tutorial .

In this repository I'm not using the last dot (.) syntax, so it'll create the project inside tutorial directory. But in the future, you should create the project inside the root repository.

4. Create an App inside the project

Go inside the project directory.

cd tutorial

Then create an app called quickstart.

django-admin startapp quickstart

Then get back to tutorial's directory.

cd ..

5. Migrate your database for the first time

python3 manage.py migrate

6. Create an initial user

python3 manage.py createsuperuser --email admin@example.com --username admin
