Make sure the name and content of the assignment DO NOT contain NSFW and do not violate SARA (Ethnicity, Religion, Race, and Inter-group Relations). If you violate this rule, there might be consequences that potentially affect other courses you are currently taking. For example, your GitHub account could get suspended.

Your application from the assignment must have the following attributes in the model.

  • name as the name of the item with type CharField.
  • price as the price of the item with type IntegerField.
  • description as the description of the item with type TextField.

You are allowed to add other attributes if you want, such as stock, category, image, and others. However, the application you create must have the three mandatory attributes above (name, price, description). The name of the mandatory attributes can be changed according to your application needs.

Some ideas for application management that you can make are as follows.

  • e-shop: nama, harga, description, rating, date.
  • Coquette Shop: name, price, description, coquette-ness.
  • Toko Ijo: name, price, description, quantity.

Assignment Checklist​

These are the checklist for the assignment.

  • Create a new Django project.
  • Create an application with the name main in the project.
  • Perform routing in the project so that the application main can run.
  • Create a model in the application main with the name Product and have the mandatory attributes as follows.
    • name
    • price
    • description
  • Create a function in views.py to return to an HTML template that displays the name of the application and your name and class.
  • Create a routing in urls.py for the application main to map the function created in views.py.
  • Perform deployment to PWS for the application that has been created so that it can be accessed by others via the Internet.
  • Create a README.md that contains a link to the PWS application that has been deployed, as well as answers to the following questions.
    • Explain how you implemented the checklist above step-by-step (not just following the tutorial).
    • Create a diagram that contains the request client to a Django-based web application and the response it gives, and explain the relationship between urls.py, views.py, models.py, and the html file.
    • Explain the use of git in software development!
    • In your opinion, out of all the frameworks available, why is Django used as the starting point for learning software development?
