Incredible class. When I watch your videos I feel like I can do anything I want with Django! You explain all the details so well, everything settles down.

Amazing tutorial... Actaully better than paid tutorials.. Thankyou for this incredible content

Nice tutorial, two things to mention:
1. I would not recommend on_delete=DO_NOTHING .
2. I would not abbreviate api paths because it would be harder to interpret on the front end.

Explanation for 1.: By default, on_delete=COLLAPSE or PROTECT should be set I think (collapse removes all dependent data, protect disables deleting data with dependents). Otherwise you may get database integrity erros or surprising errors popping up in production. (I think we usually expect book.owner to be present if it has an id and not to throw an error.)

This is a really incredible series. Love the way you explain and build out these robust projects to reinforce concepts.

In my opinion, it was a good opportunity to introduce models.Manager here and get random quiz from Manager level - not only for efficiency but also for learning reasons.

10:10 I think you got it mixed up. What would happen by default is that if your category gets deleted, then all the quizzes referencing it would be deleted too, not the other way around

Amazing DRF tuto, thank you sooo much

[somMelon]

Doesn't on_delete specify an action to take when the REFERENCED model is deleted? That is if the category gets deleted and on_delete would be CASCADE, the quiz would get deleted too, not the other way around.

Thank you so much for the video, one of the best tutorials on serializer I have come across.
How do I create a custom model manager for the randomquestions? would you please help me with this?

[amangautam]

How do we perform a post and update using APIView post and put method and not from admin panel? please make a videos on that
