Restapi Using Django Syllabus

1. Introduction To Restful Apis And Django

   Overview of RESTful APIs and their significance Introduction to Django framework and its features Setting up a development environment (Python, Django, virtual environment)

2. Building The Api Foundation With Django

   Understanding REST architecture and principles Creating a new Django project and app Setting up project configurations and URLs Implementing basic CRUD operations using Django views

3. Serializers And Data Validation

   Introduction to serializers and their role in API development Creating serializers for data serialization and deserialization Validating incoming data using serializer validation Sending JSON responses to client requests

4. Handling Get Requests And Data Retrieval

   Designing API endpoints for retrieving data Implementing GET methods for single and multiple resources Using Django queryset to fetch data from the database Sending JSON responses with serialized data

5. Handling Post And Put Requests For Data Modification

   Setting up API routes for creating and updating resources Implementing POST and PUT methods for data modification Validating incoming data using serializer validation Sending appropriate HTTP responses for success and error

6. Handling Delete Requests And Data Deletion

   Designing API routes for deleting resources Implementing DELETE methods for resource deletion Handling requests with URL parameters and path variables Sending appropriate HTTP responses for deletions

7. Authentication And Permissions

   Introduction to Authentication Methods in Django Implementing token-based authentication using DRF (Django Rest Framework) Securing API endpoints and protecting sensitive data Applying permissions to restrict access to certain views

8. Error Handling And Exception Management

   Implementing consistent error handling in the API Creating custom exception classes for different scenarios Using DRF's exception handling to handle errors Sending appropriate error responses with details

9. Testing And Debugging

   Introduction to testing methodologies (unit tests, integration tests) Writing unit tests for API endpoints using Django's TestCase Testing API views, serializers, and functionality Debugging common API issues and errors

10. Documentation And Api Views

    Generating API documentation using DRF's built-in tools Documenting API endpoints, request parameters, and responses Reviewing different types of API views (function-based, class-based) Analyzing real-world API examples and case studies

11. Advanced Topics And Optimization

    Implementing advanced features (pagination, filtering, authentication) Optimizing API performance using caching mechanisms Integrating frontend frameworks (React, Angular) with Django APIs Performance optimization techniques for Django applications

12. Final Project And Deployment

    Developing a comprehensive RESTful API using Django Customizing design, functionality, and endpoints Finalizing API documentation and testing Deploying the Django API to a hosting platform (Heroku, AWS, etc.)

13. Paarsh E-Learning encourages hands-on practice, assignments, and projects throughout the course to reinforce students' understanding of building RESTful APIs using Django. Assign practical exercises that involve creating endpoints, handling different types of requests, and implementing authentication and validation. Cover both theoretical concepts and practical applications to provide a well-rounded learning experience.
