For this project, you will build an API for keeping lists of books you want to read, are reading, or have read.
- This API allows users to register and authenticate. Use djoser to implement registration, and use token-based authentication.
- Users can only see books they have input into the system. Users cannot see each others' books, nor can unauthenticated users see any books.
- Books should have a title, zero or more authors, and a status ("to read", "reading," and "read".)
- Users can update and delete their books.
- Users can move books between statuses (this is just updating status, should be the same endpoint as updating anything about a book.)
- Users can get all their books as one list, or books by status. Consider using DjangoFilterBackend for this, and consider adding other filters, like author or title.
- Users can add notes to books. These notes have a datetime they are created, a note, and an optional page number. When notes are retrieved, return them by creation time in reverse order.
The Django project for this application is already created. There is an api app already created as well. You can build all models, serializers, and views in this api app. The default user model is also located in this app at api.models.User.
Django REST Framework has already been installed and added to INSTALLED_APPS, although no other setup has been done.
You should test your API as you are building it. We recommend using Insomnia to build requests you can run over and over.
