Django Interview Assignment

A django rest framework based web api's application that will be used by our candidates to implement interview assignment.

Dependencies

This project relies mainly on Django. Mainly:

• Python 3.8+
• Django 3+ or 4+
• Django Rest Framework

Requirements:

• Candidates expected to implement required features for a library management system based on provided scenario
• Candidates have to implement web REST api's for each required action related to scenario
• Proper JWT based authentication should be implemented in each protected web api endpoint
• Ensure an user can only perform actions using apis which are allowed to the role assigned to that user

Scenario

The are two roles in the system; LIBRARIAN and MEMBER

As a User

• I can signup either as LIBRARIAN and MEMBER using username and password
• I can login using username/password and get JWT access token

As a Librarian

• I can add, update, and remove Books from the system
• I can add, update, view, and remove Member from the system

As a Member

• I can view, borrow, and return available Books
• Once a book is borrowed, its status will change to BORROWED
• Once a book is returned, its status will change to AVAILABLE
• I can delete my own account

Nice to Have:

It will be an advantage for candidates to demonstrate the following:

• Proper usage of Http Methods and REST practices
