Django Admin

Django Admin is a fantastic feature within Django, serving as a user-friendly interface for managing your models, allowing you to create, read, update, and delete data effortlessly.

1. To access the admin user interface, begin by navigating to either the full-version or starter-kit folder and then execute the following command to start the server:
Copy

python manage.py runserver

2. When the server starts at http://127.0.0.1:8000/, simply append '/admin' after it, resulting in http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin.
3. The explanation for why this URL leads to the Django admin login page can be located in your project's config/urls.py file.
Copy

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
  path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
  ...
]

Create User

In order to access the admin application, we must first create a user

1. This is accomplished by entering the following command in the command prompt:
Copy

python manage.py createsuperuser

2. This will result in the following prompt
Copy

Username:
Email address: johndoe@dummymail.com
Password:
Password (again):
## This password is too short. It must contain at least 8 characters.
## This password is too common.
## This password is entirely numeric.
Bypass password validation and create user anyway? [y/N]:
Superuser created successfully.
              

Heads Up! : The portions starting with '##' are alerts provided by the command prompt to encourage the creation of a strong password for an official admin account.
Tip: If you prefer not to change the password, you can simply enter y to skip past these alerts.
3. Now You can login to your django admin
