The ask is to build a simple booking service using Python/Django to allow a user to see available appointments and to book one. At a minimum an appointment has a date, time and assigned doctor. Booking an appointment will mark it as booked and tie to the user who booked it, preventing it from being booked by other users.
- Build models for appointment, patient and doctor
- Build two endpoints: a) List of available appointments for a specific day b) Book appointment
- Allow patients to only book appointment if it's available
For simplicity reasons, both APIs won't require authentication. A front-end is also not required. Unit tests are not required but encouraged.
Please send back the project as a zip file with instructions on how to run it. You could also add a Postman or Charles session to demonstrate the use of the API.
HOW TO:
Apply migration and run server. Database is populated with patients and doctors.
python manage.py migrate booking
python manage.py runserverBook appointment
