The goal is to build a simple backend for a dynamic table builder app, where the user can build tables dynamically. The app has the following endpoints:
| Request type | Endpoint | Action |
|---|---|---|
| POST | /api/table | Generate dynamic Django model based on user provided fields types and titles. The field type can be a string, number, or Boolean. |
| PUT | /api/table/:id | This end point allows the user to update the structure of dynamically generated model. |
| POST | /api/table/:id/row | Allows the user to add rows to the dynamically generated model while respecting the model schema. |
| GET | /api/table/:id/rows | Get all the rows in the dynamically generated model. |
Fork the repo, position to the root and do the following steps:
-
Build the docker containers:
docker-compose build -
Run the docker containers:
docker-compose up -d
And you are ready to go! Everything is running on: localhost:8000. So it means that if you want to create a new
dynamic table, you should send POST on: http://localhost:8000/api/table.
Do the same for other endpoints too.
