Hello! Welcome to Fewdly, a Parade project
Overview
This project is designed to go over some basic Django and Django Rest Framework skills. Fewdly is a simple food review app (think Yelp). We are about to pitch our idea to some high-profile VCs, but we need a build a proof-of-concept first. Here is what needs to be done:
Getting started
We've created a Django app for you called fewdly. We've provided the standard Django app structure, but we've left everything else empty for you to fill in.
To get started, you can run
pip install -r requirements/base.txt
pip install -r requirements/test.txt
This will install Django, Django Rest Framework, and some testing libraries.
If you run
python manage.py runserver
You should see the Django successful installation page.
Models
Let's get started with some models. We need to represent our data somehow. Think about what might be needed in a food app. Here are some ideas:
- Reviewers
- Reviews
- Restaurants
Serializers
This is optional. Feel free to create some serializers for your models using Django Rest Framework. You are also welcome to just live with the built-in Django serializers.
API & Views
How are people supposed to see their reviews? We need to expose this via an API.
Fill out urls.py and views.py so that we can perform the basic CRUD
operations on all our models. Django Rest Framework will save you a lot of time here.
As for the actual view templates, don't go too crazy. Feel free to use the DRF API views for something quick and simple.
Permissions
Should everyone be able to post reviews? How about adding restaurants? Let's add some permission restrictions to our API. Think about what might make sense and go for it.
Testing
Let's test our API! Add some tests :)
Conclusion
You're done! Fewdly is on its way to becoming the next big thing :)
