Usage

Core App (Customer Model)

The core app contains a model called Customer which stores customer information. You can manage customer data using the Django admin interface or the REST APIs provided by the core app.

Ecommerce App (Order APIs)

The ecommerce app exposes REST APIs for managing customer orders. These APIs require token authentication for access. To use these APIs, you need to authenticate and include the token in your requests.

Authentication

To authenticate and obtain a token, send a POST request to the token endpoint with your username and password:

POST /api/token/
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "username": "your_username",
  "password": "your_password"
}

The token will be returned in the response. Include this token in the Authorization header of your subsequent requests to access the order APIs:

Authorization: Token your_token_here

Order APIs

• GET /api/orders/: Get a list of all orders.
• POST /api/orders/: Create a new order.
• GET /api/orders/{id}/: Get details of a specific order.
• PUT /api/orders/{id}/: Update a specific order.
• DELETE /api/orders/{id}/: Delete a specific order.
