About this course1:07
Explore Django Rest Framework essentials, including building APIs, authentication methods, permission classes, routers, and view sets, with a whiteboard walkthrough before coding.
Prerequisite Notice0:16
Django Rest Framework: GET/POST in Action20:11
Create a Django project and a books app, set up Django Rest Framework, implement get and post endpoints, test with Postman, and migrate data to sqlite.
Django Rest Framework: PUT/Delete in Action8:34
Learn to implement put and delete requests in Django Rest Framework by updating and deleting a book using its id via API view decorators and URL parameters.
Power of Serializers15:35
Discover how serializers validate data, simplify create, get, update, and delete operations with model serializers, and automatically convert results to JSON in the Django Rest Framework.

Behind the Scenes: Django Authentication Unveiled22:43
Explore Django authentication, including signup and login flows, password hashing with sha256, and using the built-in user model to implement session-based authentication and protected views.
A Guide to Token Authentication7:34
Compare token and session authentication, showing how tokens in headers prevent cross-site forgery and improve security in Django Rest Framework.
The magic with JWT11:11
Discover jwt, how it differs from session and token authentication, and how to install simple jwt, obtain and refresh tokens, and access protected views with bearer tokens.
Exploring Permission Classes for Robust Access Control5:09
Explore permission classes in Django Rest Framework to enforce access control with is authenticated, allow any, and is admin user. Apply them via decorators or settings and test protected views.

Get started with viewsets and routers10:28
Learn how a Django Rest Framework view set handles list, create, update, and delete in one class, and how a default router auto-generates book URLs for routing.
Connecting Tables in Django8:33
Map the book author to the user model via a foreign key, run migrations with on delete cascade, and configure the admin to display book attributes including the author.
Customizing Django Viewsets: Overriding the GET Method9:53
Override Django Rest Framework viewsets to customize list, create, update, and destroy, returning only books by the logged-in user and enforcing authorization via request.user.
Overriding POST, PUT, and DELETE Methods for Ultimate API Control8:51
Overriding post, put, and delete methods in a Django rest framework viewset, learn to create, update, and destroy books with authentication and author ownership checks.
Understanding Permission Classes in Viewset6:05
Learn how permission classes in a viewset enforce authentication with is_authenticated, eliminating repetitive if statements, and authenticate via a JWT token to access create, list, and retrieve endpoints.

Efficient Data Retrieval: PageNumberPagination11:09
Implement page number pagination in Django REST framework. Configure page size in settings and use custom pagination classes to tailor sizes per viewset.
Pagination with Limit & Offset5:38
Explore limit-offset pagination in Django Rest Framework, contrasting it with page-number pagination. Learn to pass limit and offset query parameters to fetch specific records and navigate next and previous pages.
Super Optimised Pagination Using Cursor6:37
Explore how limit offset pagination creates performance bottlenecks and how cursor pagination uses a page size and a cursor to fetch successive pages.

Developing a Resilient URL Shortener System14:57
Develop a Django Rest Framework backend for a URL shortener, creating endpoints to generate and redirect short URLs, modeling long and short URLs, and testing with Postman.
Validating POST Request & Caching Get Requests
Collision Management Strategies: Avoidance Technique5:35
Prevent short URL collisions by restructuring the API path and generating unique URLs from the database ID via Hashids, after saving the long URL.
