04-Django_Posts_website

This is a responsive website that works like a blog where users can create accounts in order to post on the website, or if they are not signed in, they are limited to only viewing them. The authentication of users is implemented with the use of django-allauth. The main page has a list of posts sorted in chronological order (starting from the most recent) and a left panel including all the possible options the current user has.

05-Financial_Blog_Wagtail_CMS

This is a responsive website that represents a financial blog where the owner can easily manage the content with the wagtail framework. Wagtail is an open source CMS written in Python and built on the Django framework. It offers a fast and attractive interface for editors where content can be created and structured intuitively. The websites consist of a homepage where the user can enter the blog. On the main page of the blog, the user has an overview of all the posts listed chronologically. Each post also has a detailed view where the whole content is shown with additional information like categories, tags, author, date posted, main content of the post, and gallery. For every post, the user can add tags and customise categories. The user also has the option of choosing a specific tag and displaying all the posts on the blog related to that specific tag. Categories and profiles need to be edited or created before they can be connected to a specific post or article. On the settings site there is also configuration prepared for linking the blog website with other social media websites. Currently active are Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but this can be easily added with the use of the added app_site_settings where all the social media links are configured. The focus of this website is on the content management of a financial blog, which can be easily edited from the admin site provided by Wagtail.

06-Restaurant-Website-Django

This is a restaurant website built with Django, a popular Python-based web framework. The website consists of four pages: Home, Menu, Book, and About. On the Home page, users can view an overview of the restaurant, including information about the cuisine and atmosphere. The Menu page displays all the dishes offered at the restaurant, with links to detailed descriptions and photos of each dish. The Book page allows users to make a reservation at the restaurant. They can select the number of people in their party, and any special requests they may have. The website uses Django's built-in forms to collect and validate user input. The About page provides a description of the restaurant and its owner, including their philosophy, history, and community involvement. The website is built using Django and uses Django messages to display feedback to users after they submit a form. The front end is styled with CSS and features nicely styled HTML. The data for the website is stored in a database (sqlite but it can be switched to MySQL). The owner of the restaurant can create a superuser account and use the Django admin panel to add menu items and manage bookings made through the website. They can view the bookings made by users. Overall, this is a simple but effective restaurant website that provides users with a seamless experience when booking a table or exploring the menu.

07-BookStore-API-Django

This is a robust RESTful API that facilitates easy management of books in a bookstore. It offers CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for interacting with a database where all the books will be stored. Currently, SQLite is used as the database, but the API has a configuration for MySQL that can be readily used. This API is user-friendly and has two endpoints and an index page that provides an introduction to the API. The first endpoint, /api/books, can handle:

• a GET request to retrieve a list of all books stored in the database,
• a POST request to add a new book to the database. To add a book.

For the POST request the API requires a payload containing information such as the book's 'title', 'author', 'price', and 'inventory' in JSON format sent as Form URL Encoded.

The API's second endpoint, /api/books/{bookId}, can handle:

• a GET request to retrieve data on a single book stored in the database,
• a PUT request to update a single book, which requires the same payload as the POST request,
• a DELETE request used to delete a single book.

The endpoint requires a unique book ID in the URL to reference the given book. Overall, the 02-BookStore-API-Django is an efficient and user-friendly API that simplifies book management in a bookstore. It offers a wide range of CRUD operations for managing books in the database, making it easy to add, update, retrieve, and delete books. Additionally, unit tests have been added to this project to ensure the API is working correctly. These tests can be run with the command 'python manage.py test' in the terminal.

08-BookStore-API-DRF

This is an API that facilitates easy management of books in a bookstore, which is a copy of the 02-BookStore-API-Django. However, this API was developed with Django Rest Framework (DRF), a powerful and flexible toolkit for building web APIs using Django. DRF provides a range of additional features and tools that make it easier to build APIs, including built-in serialization, authentication, and testing frameworks. This project serves as a contrast to demonstrate how much easier it is to develop a simple API with DRF instead of pure Django. The API offers CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for interacting with a database where all the books will be stored. Currently, SQLite is used as the database, but the API has a configuration for MySQL that can be readily used. This API is user-friendly and has two endpoints and an index page that provides an introduction to the API. The first endpoint, /api/books, can handle:

• a GET request to retrieve a list of all books stored in the database,
• a POST request to add a new book to the database.

For the POST request, the API requires a payload containing information such as the book's 'title', 'author', 'price', and 'inventory' in JSON format sent as Form URL Encoded.

The API's second endpoint, /api/books/{bookId}, can handle:

• a GET request to retrieve data on a single book stored in the database,
• a PUT request to update a single book, which requires the same payload as the POST request,
• a DELETE request used to delete a single book.

The endpoint requires a unique book ID in the URL to reference the given book.

DRF provides a more streamlined and consistent way to build APIs in Django, with a focus on performance, scalability, and maintainability. It also includes features like customizable pagination, schema generation, and versioning that are not available in Django out-of-the-box. This introductory project aims to showcase the usefulness of DRF. Additionally, unit tests have been added to this project to ensure the API is working correctly. These tests can be run with the command 'python manage.py test' in the terminal. Django Rest Framework also provides a browsable API interface that allows developers to browse and interact with the API endpoints directly from a web browser. This interface includes forms for submitting requests to the API, as well as displaying the response data in a user-friendly format. It also provides links to related resources and documentation. This makes it easy for developers to explore the API, test different endpoints, and debug any issues that might arise.

09-Restaurant-Management-API-DRF

This is a Management RESTful API for a restaurant, designed as a backend service to support a variety of client applications. The API enables customers to browse food items, view the item of the day, and place orders. Managers can use the API to update the item of the day, monitor orders, and assign deliveries. Delivery crew members can check orders assigned to them and update the status of an order once it's delivered.

The system uses a database to store data, specifically SQLite. However, it is also preconfigured to use MySQL as an alternative database management system if needed. By utilizing a database to store data, the system can manage and access large amounts of information in an organized and efficient way. This allows for quick and easy retrieval of data when needed, as well as the ability to make changes and updates as necessary. The use of SQLite as the default database management system ensures that the system is reliable and efficient, while the option to use MySQL provides added flexibility and compatibility with other systems.

Built with Django REST Framework, this RESTful API is fully functional and includes user authentication and authorization, which is managed through Djoser. Users can authenticate with a username and password to obtain in
