Certificate Project - Django

This project involves three levels of development:

Level 1

Establishes a many-to-many relationship between students and teachers. The data is stored in tables, and selecting a teacher displays the corresponding students, while selecting students displays the corresponding teachers.

Level 2

Involves choosing a teacher and a student pair to generate a certificate.

Level 3

Introduces the verification of certificates using JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication.

Getting Started

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Use the following credentials for the Django admin panel:

   • Username: pawan
   • Password: 2013

4. Run the local development server:

   python manage.py runserver

   Access the home page at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

URLs

• Admin Panel: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
• Generate Token: http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/token/
• Generate Certificate: http://127.0.0.1:8000/generate_certificate/
• Certificate List: http://127.0.0.1:8000/certificate_list/

Testing Verify Certificate

1. Run the local server:

   python manage.py runserver

2. Use the Thunder Client extension in VS Code.

   • Import the collection from thunder-collection_Certificate Project.json.
   • In the "Certificate Project" collection, you have two requests:
     • verify-certificate
     • Generate Token (use this to generate a new token for authentication).

3. Run the Generate Token request to obtain an access token.

4. Copy the access token from the response.

5. Open the verify-certificate request, click on Headers, and replace access_token in the Authorization header with the actual access token.

6. Run the verify-certificate request to test certificate verification.
