This Django tutorial app was created for the purpose of demonstrating Django and Django Rest Framework. It shows the basics of writing a REST endpoint which allows uploading and retrieving pictures.

I also wrote a tutorial, though if you just want to try my code out, I suggest using using the Quick Start or the Docker Image below (todo).

Be aware that there are multiple branches, one for each chapter of the tutorial.

There is also a YouTube series about this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMiNTCIY7dw

Installation Steps if you want to try it out

git clone https://github.com/ChristianKreuzberger/django-rest-imageupload-example.git
