Final Project Requirements

  1. Build a web application using Django.
    • Create a dedicated project and at least one reusable app following Django conventions.
  2. Define at least two related models that capture your core domain data and link them via a foreign key or many-to-many relationship.
    • Include helpful __str__ representations and specify verbose names where useful.
  3. Implement full CRUD functionality (create, read, update, delete) for the primary model through Django views.
    • Provide separate views (or combined class-based views) for listing, creating, updating, and deleting records.
  4. Provide user-facing forms or interfaces for all CRUD operations.
    • Use ModelForm classes or form classes to handle validation and rendering.
  5. Include basic validation and error handling for user input and database interactions.
    • Surface validation errors back to users and guard against invalid submissions in the views.
  6. Demonstrate use of templates for rendering HTML responses.
    • Employ a base template with content blocks to avoid duplication and include navigation between CRUD pages.
  7. Add minimal styling to ensure the UI is usable and coherent.
    • Bundle a simple CSS file (or utility framework) that keeps forms aligned and key actions visible.
  8. Document setup, migration, and run instructions in the project README.
    • Cover dependencies, environment variables, migration commands, superuser creation, and how to launch the development server.
  9. Document how the two models interact within your README to guide reviewers.
    • Outline the relationships using bullet points or a short diagram so reviewers understand the data flow.

Optional Enhancements

  • Include automated tests that cover the core CRUD workflows.
  • Provide a Docker-based PostgreSQL setup for developers who prefer running against Postgres.
