Description

Also involves writing a test, and setting up the author table in the db, and make a simple page that shows the json output of the api call. (Making the page will be its own issue)

What Do

  • Single Author: write a unit test(s) that goes to the URL and ensures the returned JSON is as expected.
  • Multiple Authors: Set up unit test(s).
  • Set up required fields of Authors model: https://github.com/Sean-Meyers/CMPUT404-project-socialdistribution/issues/12
  • Write Serializer and/or view for single author. (thing that makes and returns the json, however you want to accomplish that.)
  • Write Serializer and/or view for multiple authors.

Unit Tests to Pass

  • GET single author works
  • POST single author works
  • GET all authors paginated works.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement the author endpoints by creating a serializer and view for single author (GET, POST) and a view for multiple authors (GET) with pagination. Write unit tests using Django's test client to verify JSON responses.
