Django Mini Projects

A collection of small, independent Django projects built for learning and practice.
Each project is self-contained and demonstrates a specific Django concept such as CRUD operations, authentication, and templating.

---

📌 Projects Included

✅ 1. To-Do App

📁 Path: todo/

• Create, update, and delete tasks
• Mark tasks as complete
• Focus on CRUD operations
• No authentication — open access

---

✅ 2. Expense Tracker

📁 Path: expense_tracker/

• Add, update, and delete expenses
• Track spending by category
• Includes user authentication (login, logout, register)
• Data is scoped to the logged-in user

---

🚀 Getting Started

Each project is standalone. Follow these steps inside each project folder (todo/, expense_tracker/).

1. Navigate to the project folder

cd todo        # or cd expense_tracker

2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate      # macOS/Linux
venv\Scripts\activate         # Windows

3. Install dependencies

pip install -r ../requirements.txt

4. Run migrations

python manage.py migrate

5. Create a superuser (optional)

python manage.py createsuperuser

6. Start the development server

python manage.py runserver
