Here is what to do

• Add a new model called User

• It should have these fields ** First name ** Last name ** Email

• Make sure to make the migrations!

• Then create a script that will populate your database with fake Users

• Then confirm the populating through the Admin interface

• Remember to change your urls.py files to deal with the changes to the /user extension


Django steps

• Create venv (python3 -m venv django_challenge)
• activate (source django_challenge/bin/activate)
• install django and Faker(the last one for populating with dummy data)
• django_admin startproject name .
• create app with python manage.py startapp name
• register app in settings.py
• update the urls with importing views from the app and import include from django.conf.urls
• in urls.py add connect a view for root or homepage and one view for the page users
• create such views under the app_challenge.views (remember to create template with the respective html files and add it to settings)
• create models in models (everytime we update a model we need to migrate,makemigrations and migrate again)
• Register your models in admin
• create superuser (python3 manage.py createsuperuser)
  • Username (leave blank to use 'dci-student'): Gia
  • Email address: g....@gmail.com
  • Password:
  • Password (again):*********
  • Superuser created successfully.
• check if the admin is working by going to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
• create module populate_first_app.py in order to generate dummy data with Faker import the necessary modules (see populate_first_app.py)
  • use a for loop to populate entry
  • use faker to generate dummy attributes
  • create objects with dummy attributes
  • run populate function after if name== 'main':
• modify the users.html by injecting the information we need
• when you are done deactivate virtual environment (deactivate)
