Django Work Manager (Full Stack Web Project)

This is a React-Django website featuring user log in, sign up, log out etc. Users can post their To-dos on the website after logging in and click on finish when they are done with it. This is a great place to store your day to day important activities. Also there is an option to delete To-dos incase if you have cancelled your program.

Description

This is a Full Stack Web Project which is implemented using Django(backend) and React(frontend).

For the Backend :-

• Django is used in the backend to manage database, setup models, handle REST API calls.
• Implemented REST API using Django REST Framework. All CRUD operations on To-dos, login, logout, user registrations etc is done using API. Used Django REST Knox for token authentication to securely communicate and exchange data with Django. Read here for more information.
• Access links here and here to see the differences between inbuilt DRF tokens and other auth libraries respectively.

For the Frontend :-

• React : Popular open-source, component-based front end library responsible only for the view layer of the application. It is maintained by Facebook. Read here and here for more information.
• ReactDOM : ReactDOM is a package that provides DOM specific methods that can be used at the top level of a web app to enable an efficient way of managing DOM elements of the web page. Read here for more information.
• Redux : It lets your React components read data from a Redux store, and dispatch actions to the store to update data. Simply put, Redux is a state management tool. Read here and here for more information.
• Redux Thunk : Redux Thunk is a middleware that lets you call action creators that return a function instead of an action object. Read here and here for more information.
• Axios : Make XMLHttpRequests from the browser.
• Redux DevTools : Redux DevTools for debugging application's state changes. It's a very important utility tool.
• React Router : Declarative routing for React. Read here for more information.
