 ### Initialize Git
 
 When working on software projects such as Django, you will need to be able to track small changes. We'll be using Git for that
 
 We previously installed Git, now's the time to use it. In your terminal, run the command `git init`

 There are some files in your projects that won't need to be tracked for changes (database files, and passwords!)
 \
 Download the `gitignore` below and rename it to `.gitignore`. You can then drop it into your root project folder

+**REST_FRAMEWORK** will change the authentication type
+
+**DJOSER** provides settings that you will use later on for user registration
+
+```python
+REST_FRAMEWORK = {
+    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
+        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
+    ),
+}
+
+DJOSER = {
+    'SEND_ACTIVATION_EMAIL': True,
+    'SEND_CONFIRMATION_EMAIL': True,
+    'ACTIVATION_URL': 'activation/{uid}/{token}',

+
+Next step, models!
+
+### Note!
+If you've gotten this far, congratulations! If you're not familiar with basic and intermediate SQL or Python exercises yet, you may have trouble catching up in the following sections. Please consider learning those first or alongside the sections below.
+
+### User Model
+We've added authentication (Djoser) and so we will need to create our own concept of a user.
+
+Models are the heart of backend development (not just Django!). While you may know what a car or a person is, your backend (Django) and your database have no idea how this should be structured.
+
+A person can have the following
+
+- Name
+- Age
+- Birthday
+
+Cars can have them too! But you get my point.
+
+Django already provides a default [User](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/auth/) model, hidden away from sight. We will be overriding and replacing this with our own.
+
+To start, we will need to create a separate app.
+
+In the previous section, we created a simple folder for the **api** app, this will not work for this step.
+
+Instead, make sure you're inside the Django project directory by doing `cd PROJECT_NAME`, in my case, `cd djangobackend`
+
+We will then create an **accounts** app. Run the command `python manage.py startapp accounts`
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/1acc5ed07b9837584efe9eef7b9f79f0_MD5.jpg)
+This will create the **accounts** app
+### Note!  
+The best practice when creating Django apps would be naming them in plural form (Books, Records, Posts)
+
+The Books app can hold
+- Books
+- Pages
+- Chapters
+
+Because of this, there is usually no need to make another app for pages and chapters as mentioned above, unless your app is big enough.
+
+With that out of the way, let's begin creating our User model.
+
+We will be creating our own version of a User based on the default one provided by Django [here](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/auth/)with an age and a birthday
+```python
+from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
+from django.db import models
+
+class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
+    # Some fields are referenced or copied over from AbstractUser
+    # first_name, last_name, email, username, and password are among a few of these
+
+    birthday = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
+    age = models.IntegerField(null=True)
+
+    @property
+    def full_name(self):
+        return f"{self.first_name} {self.last_name}"
+```
+
+If we CTRL + Click on **AbstractUser**, we can take a deeper look under the hood on Django's default User
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/0729283d0df67dfa7dd1a4872e0c65c8_MD5.jpg)
+
+By referencing **AbstractUser** on the User we're creating, we're can skip over creating the other fields a user would have (password, email) and the work that comes with how those work under the hood. This is something you will regularly see with Django and will make developing projects faster.
+
+We'll now need to connect our **accounts** app and the **User** model to our existing project
+
+Open the `admin.py` file in the **accounts** app and add the following code block.
+```python
+from django.contrib import admin
+from .models import CustomUser
+
+# Register your models here.
+admin.site.register(CustomUser)
+```
+
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/f8959f3ab5639965cbb7d889c8ca93c2_MD5.jpg)
+
+This will register the model you just created into the Django admin panel (which you will look into later on).
+
+You should then head over to your `settings.py` under the **config** app and add **accounts** to **INSTALLED_APPS**
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/0a19f2ef80c837f84ab52adef345e6d4_MD5.jpg)
+
+Point your authentication to your new **User** model by adding this to `settings.py` under the **config** app
+```python
+AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.CustomUser'
+```
+
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/337e74c775664852529ccbda519d08c6_MD5.jpg)
+
+Next, you will need to shuffle some things around
+
+Head back to the **accounts** app and create a `urls.py` file. Add the following code block
+```python
+from django.urls import path, include
+
+urlpatterns = [
+    path('', include('djoser.urls')),
+    path('', include('djoser.urls.jwt')),
+]
+```
+
+You might notice that this is similar to what we have on the **api** app, we'll be moving these entries to here.
+
+Now that we have those moved over, remove the entries for **djoser.urls** and **djoser.urls.jwt** in `urls.py` under the **api** app
+```python
+from django.contrib import admin
+from django.urls import path, include
+
+urlpatterns = [
+    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
+]
+```
+
+Instead, replace what we've removed with
+```python
+path('accounts/', include('accounts.urls')),
+```
+
+Things should look like this after
+
+`urls.py` under **api** app
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/c9c5db2081729eb510dd4571bd3f37c0_MD5.jpg)
+`urls.py` under **accounts** app
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/eda08eda23e505477f257e0445938247_MD5.jpg)
+
+With this, your new **accounts** app is now connected.
+
+### Migrations
+Django and Django REST Framework (DRF) serves as an interface between your database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) and the internet.
+
+It **DOES NOT** hold your data. Rather, it serves as the **backend** to access said data.
+
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/e5767bab6b1ac8f2e62c8e5beb427992_MD5.jpg)
+
+This is an important distinction to make especially for starters. Exposing your database without a framework such as Django can allow malicious actors to easily make a mess of everything. Everything Django and DRF provides (authentication, middleware, etc.) serves this purpose.
+
+Carrying on, migrations!
+
+Migrations keep track of what types of kinds of things we wish to store. You previously created a **User** model **(accounts app)**.
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/1862970ccde9154f045c5140f0abf05c_MD5.jpg)
+To apply these changes to your database, run the command `python manage.py makemigrations`
+
+### Note!
+Make sure you're inside the Django project directory! (e.g. `cd PROJECT\_NAME`)
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/d78e3aa3a9bf33079c0545dcb339d0ec_MD5.jpg)
+This will create a migration file for your **User** model, which will instruct Django on how to create it inside your SQL database.
+
+Taking a closer look at the newly created migrations file, you can see the following file in `accounts/migrations/0001\_initial.py`
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/0e771b2d300413c7e8ab63081cadfd17_MD5.jpg)
+
+The previous command you just ran (`python manage.py makemigrations`) just translated your **User** model (located in `accounts/models.py`) into instructions which will then be used to create the SQL statements under the hood (e.g. `CREATE TABLE USER (username char, password ...)`)
+
+Migrations are very analogous to sandwiches and burgers in a sense, if you decide to add a **grumpy** attribute to your **User**
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/ff7be23f2bc7166808ee3e0c008c9231_MD5.jpg)
+
+and run `python manage.py makemigrations` again,
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/707051892fcf99a1b4a2eb274603dda0_MD5.jpg)
+
+This will create a second migration file (`0002\_customuser\_grumpy.py`)
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/6b364981137d57591ce32bec05aaa582_MD5.jpg)
+
+When you apply these migrations (which we will do shortly), Django reads each migration file in order, starting off with #1 to create the initial **User** model, and then to step #2 to add the **grumpy** field, which under the hood uses SQL Alter (e.g. `ALTER USER ADD grumpy boolean`).
+
+Django's migrations will also let you know if you make changes to your models that might break things (e.g. removing an already added field when you have records for that already).
+
+This is something you should ideally understand with Django and how it interfaces with your database under the hood.
+
+### Apply Migrations
+If you've noticed this error in the previous sections, this is because we haven't applied our migrations yet!
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/a4ed5645c21b33f9823d14533e4c3ef4_MD5.jpg)
+With your user schema or template now set up, you should now apply these changes to the database.
+
+Run the command `python manage.py migrate` to apply these changes
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/674a41f71ebe4925d9e40aaee89298bd_MD5.jpg)
+
+This will apply your changes to the database, which by default is SQLite**,** the **db.sqlite3** file.
+
+With that out of the way, running your Django project (`python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000`) will no longer yield the migration warning.
+![image.png](_resources/5%20-%20User%20Setup%20and%20Migrations/cd1442083ceb8430c132da9bfc9b842f_MD5.jpg)
+
+It's always important to apply your migrations before running your app, otherwise you might run into issues.
+
+In the next section, you will be creating your first (superuser) account to access the Django admin panel.

+### Admin Panel Overview
+By default, all Django apps come with an administrator panel to manage all your models, this includes users too!
+
+![image.png](_resources/6%20-%20Django%20Admin/b7491027aff381ac2c193b31c11750bf_MD5.jpg)
+
+This is accessible via the URL [http://localhost:8000/api/v1/admin/](http://localhost:8000/api/v1/admin/)
+
+In the admin panel, you can do CRUD operations on your models without having to create endpoints. This however is only accessible to administrators so you will have to continue building your API for general access later on. If you have more models, they will show up on the left-hand corner of the site. When selecting a model, such as one for **User**, you can view all instances/records and update, and delete them, hence CRUD (Create Retrieve Update Delete).

+The theme above comes from the [django-unfold](https://github.com/unfoldadmin/django-unfold) library. The default design should look the same. You will run into the setup guide django-unfold and other libraries later on, so sit tight!
+
+### Creating an Admin Account  
+To create a superuser or administrator account. Open a terminal inside your Django project directory and run the command `python manage.py createsuperuser`

docs/Guides/Django REST Framework/7 - Writing API Endpoints.md

@@ -0,0 +1,84 @@
+### Overview
+An endpoint corresponds to a specific URL in your service. For example, the [localhost:8000/api/v1/books/1](http://localhost:8000/api/v1/books/1) would return the book with the ID=1.
+
+In Django REST Framework, there are some key points you must take note of when writing your own API endpoints
+- Database/SQL Table
+- Model
+- Serializer
+- View
+- URL
+
+An API endpoint is built from the ground up, starting with the SQL Table. This section assumes you're familiar with SQL (you should be before proceeding with the other chapters!) and the Django Model previously discussed.
+
+![image.png](_resources/7%20-%20Writing%20API%20Endpoints/f6d46eeef4a1644acda573cfd3c673f7_MD5.jpg)
+
+The diagram above is a very rough oversimplification of how Django REST Framework works out of the box
+
+### Model
+As mentioned in the previous chapter, the Django model (models.py) defines the object you're intending to keep records of. Whether it be books, students, or menu items, the Django model you create serves as a reference which is then used to populate or create the table in your SQL database.
+
+![image.png](_resources/7%20-%20Writing%20API%20Endpoints/8aafbc6d8b57c1b14e1982b559afc3d6_MD5.jpg)
+
+When called from a serializer, a Django model returns a Python object.
+
+### Serializer
+A Django REST Framework serializer takes in a Django model and serializes it into JSON.
+
+In other Python backend frameworks such as [Django Ninja](https://django-ninja.dev/) or [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com), you often skip the serializer process altogether and return values directly.
+
+![image.png](_resources/7%20-%20Writing%20API%20Endpoints/f18ff6ca2e734e8fa7f303466a9dc4fc_MD5.jpg)
+
+Sample Code Snippet from Django Ninja
+
+This is not the case with Django REST Framework.
+
+Serializers define the model used using the class **Meta**. Using a DRF serializer, you can choose to specify which fields to return
+![image.png](_resources/7%20-%20Writing%20API%20Endpoints/f5939f9b512e7c4b204129ff4d1b6c44_MD5.jpg)
+
+The serializer above only returns 4 fields (id, username, email, full\_name). Any other fields are omitted such as age, birthday, and so on.
+
+#### Serializer - Validation
+In addition to manipulating your model before JSON serialization, DRF serializers allow you to validate fields to ensure proper values are provided.
+![image.png](_resources/7%20-%20Writing%20API%20Endpoints/972f5b24877092dabefa35683e9d8a37_MD5.jpg)
+
+In the code snippet above, any fields specified as **required=True** will error out if no value is provided. You don't need to run it through your own checks.
+
+#### Serializer - Custom Hooks  
+Django REST Framework serializers contain different methods you can use to hook in custom functionalities.
+![image.png](_resources/7%20-%20Writing%20API%20Endpoints/55d02092931568fb93eb38d7e0b35fb4_MD5.jpg)
+
+In the code snippet above used for user registration, we can hook custom functions into the validate and create methods which would then be triggered when sending an HTTP POST request that uses our serializer.
+
+The **validate** method is used to verify that a valid password is provided alongside other integrity checks.
+
+The **create** method is also used to ensure that the password and username is set properly**.** In the example above, the user's **is\_active** property is set to **False** in the **create** method to make sure users have to activate their accounts via email.
+
+This is just one of the few use cases for serializer methods, there's an **update** method too alongside others which you can check in the [official documentation](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/).
+
+### Note!
+It's important to note that these DRF serializer methods are different from those in Django models. If you choose to use the Django admin panel instead to create your records, the hooks above will not work. The hooks we discuss here only apply to endpoints that use your Django REST Framework serializer.
+
+Django itself provides its own validation through in your models **(models.py)** with methods such as **clean**, **pre\_save**, and **post\_save** with docs found [here](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/signals/).
+
+While this may be confusing at first having two approaches to validation, it is important to note that Django and Django REST Framework are separate projects, with one being built on top of the other.
+
+A good use-case for serializer-level validation would be the following;
+
+- An API endpoint for managing (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) books for users where you'd need restrictions to stop readers from deleting books they don't own
+- An API endpoint for administrators to manage books without restrictions
+
+Each endpoint has their own set of restrictions and requirements so DRF serializer validation would work well here.
+
+Django model validation on the other hand would work better with model field validation,
+
+- Ensure a **User's** **age** matches their **birthday** and if not, throw an error
+- Update an **Employee's Payroll** record to increase their **salary** if they are promoted to a higher **position**
+
+The requirements above are irrelevant of the API endpoint used and so model-level validation works best.
+
+Knowing where you should place your validation functions is something you will encounter later on. There's an excellent discussion on [GitHub](https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/discussions/7850) which includes view-level validation if you're interested.
+
+If you're just starting off, this isn't something you should be too worried about. Just knowing that the serializer parses to JSON is plenty enough to get started with building CRUD apps.

+### Project Requirements 
+We require the following for all projects
+
+- Compatible with ARM64 architecture as our server are a fleet of Orange Pi 5s
+- Packaged via Docker with an included `docker-compose.yml`. Traditionally, there are two ways to do this; 
+    - Provide the source code as-is including your provided .env file. The servers will then build the image/container before being served to the public.
+    - Build Docker image of your service and push it to [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/) in a private repository. You can then give us pull access to download the container so that we serve/run it for your intended use to the public
+
+If you're using a single page application (SPA) framework such as React or Vue, you may opt to skip Docker containerization altogether. We can serve the compiled build as a static site directly. If you're instead using NextJS or a server-side rendered framework, please opt to use Docker in packing up your service instead.

+    - The device must be compatible with Wireguard VPN
+    - The device must run 24/7 (or at least run continuously when required for your services to be usable)
+    - The device must be able to run your services. You will need to ensure system requirements are met (CPU, RAM, and storage).
+- A stable internet connection (a poor network connection will result in your subdomains being intermittently unavailable)
+
+You may choose to run your services on bare metal through XAMPP or similar tools when relayed. Docker containerization is not required.

+### Alternatives
+Cloudflare offers a similar service called [Cloudflare Tunnels](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) though this requires you to have a domain that you have purchased. There is however offer a free offering to try at [try.cloudflare.com](https://try.cloudflare.com/). This URL however is ephemeral (not permanent and may change) and is limited to one domain. This may require more work on your end especially for Frontend/Backend API setups as endpoints may change.
