Today, we are going to be creating an app that allows users to review their favorite beers. Just about everyone likes beer, and life is too short to drink Keystone Light and/or Milwaukee's Best.
In our app, a user can sign up, find a list of beers, and leave a review for a beer. A beer can have many reviews and when all the beers are listed, you can click on an individual beer and see all the relevant reviews. When you sign in, you can see all the reviews you've left on different beers.
For the purposes of our basic CRUD app today, anyone can create a beer.
Create a new Django App, with postgresql as a database, and user authentication. Tutorials are your friend when you start programming. This is a great one. So is this one ;)
Once you've pip installed everything you need in your virtual environment, you can pip freeze > requirements.txt. That 'freezes' all the requirements of your virtual environment so that you can install everything at once later on with pip install -r requirements.txt
In beer-rating/ratings/models.py, create models for Beer and Review. A Beer can have many reviews and a review belongs to a beer. Then, create a few beers to use as test data.
Now add your routes so that users can add, update, and delete reviews for a beer. Users should be able to see all reviews for a beer, but should only be able to update and delete reviews that they created.
Create a search box that lets users search for matching beers and/or reviews. To test this functionality, use faker to seed your database with lots of entries! Faker has lots of options.
