This repository contains a project that combines Django, Django REST Framework, React, and Vite to create a web application with a robust backend and a dynamic frontend.

The project is organized into two main folders:

• backend: Contains the Django application responsible for handling API requests and database interactions.
• frontend: Contains the React application built using Vite, providing a modern and efficient development experience for the frontend.

The backend is built using Django and Django REST Framework, providing a RESTful API to communicate with the frontend. The key features of the backend include:

• API endpoints to manage various resources, such as users, data models, and more.
• Integration with a database (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQLite) to store and retrieve data.
• Authentication and authorization mechanisms to secure API endpoints.
• Custom views, serializers, and models to tailor the API to your project's needs.

1. Navigate to the backend folder:

   cd backend

2. Create a Python Virtual Environment (Optional, but recommended):

   Create and activate a virtual environment to isolate project dependencies.

   On macOS and Linux:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

   On Windows:

   pip install virtualenv
   virtualenv venv
   ./venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1
   

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run database migrations:

    python manage.py makemigrations
    python manage.py migrate

5. Start the Django development server:

    python manage.py runserver

6. Use http://localhost:8000 as the API base URL.

The frontend is built using React and Vite, providing fast development and hot module replacement for efficient code changes. The frontend offers a user-friendly interface to interact with the API provided by the Django backend.

1. Navigate to the frontend folder:

   cd frontend

2. Install the required Node packages:

    npm install

3. Start the Vite development server:

    npm run dev

4. Navigate to http://localhost:5173 to view the frontend.

For detailed information about the available API endpoints and their usage, refer to the Post API Documentation.
