Welcome to the Cinemathe Backend Project
Note This project is an initial implementation and is currently under maintenance.
Cinemathe is a work-in-progress project aimed at fast-tracking your entertainment picks. This initial release is an implementation of a Django Rest Framework (DRF) based backend that supports the Vue.js frontend application. The backend is designed to provide robust and scalable APIs for querying and managing movies and TV series data, with a primary focus on user authentication.
- Framework: Django Rest Framework (DRF)
- Hosting: Netlify (Frontend), DigitalOcean Spaces (Backend static files)
- APIs Used: TMDB, JustWatch
- Frontend Integration: Vue.js application deployed on Netlify
- Initial Setup and Configuration: Project initialization with Django and DRF, including essential configurations and initial setup.
- User Authentication: Integration of user authentication mechanisms allowing users to log in, manage their profiles, and save their favorite movies and TV series.
- Rebranding: Refactoring to rebrand 'sonarflix' to 'cinemathe', ensuring all references and redirections are updated.
- CORS Configuration: Updated
cors_allowed_originsto support Netlify deployments, ensuring cross-origin requests are handled correctly. - Static Files Management: Implementation of
collectstaticfor Django admin, enabling proper management and deployment of static files. - Redirection Fixes: Addressed issues with redirection post-rebranding to ensure seamless user experience.
- Domain Updates: Updated domains from 'netlify' to 'space' to reflect the current deployment strategy.
The backend development is now complete and fully integrated with the frontend.
