Blango — Blog with Django & Django REST Framework

Blog application built through the Advanced Django: Mastering Django and Django REST Framework specialization (Coursera). This repository holds the course project as completed; an adapted version of it runs live inside my portfolio:

▶ portfolio-mparraf.herokuapp.com/blog (re-integrated as a Django app with its own API and request throttling)

What it demonstrates

• Blog domain model: posts with slugs, tags, generic-relation comments, published_at visibility and hero images (django-versatileimagefield)
• REST API with Django REST Framework: serializers, viewsets and dedicated api/ module, plus API test suites (test_post_api.py, test_tag_api.py)
• Authentication with django-allauth (sign-up/sign-in) and JWT for the API
• Server-rendered UI with Django templates, custom template tags, Bootstrap 5 and crispy-forms
