  • JSON Web Token
  • Designing and Building the Orders API

With this project I learned:

  • Working with class-based views
  • Creating serializers
  • Using mixins and generic views
  • Generating routes with routers
  • Filtering, searching, sorting, and pagination
  • Django authentication system
  • Creating custom User models
  • Securing APIs with JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
  • Using signals to decouple apps
  • Troubleshooting common errors
