I love your tutorial. My question is: why you do not provide a simple frontend to send the request body. Everywhere I go no body address the FULL posting procedure and rely on docs/postman..etc; to do the posting. I want to see a FULL REAL posting operation. Can you help?

I clearly see, that 'username' and 'age' class attrs are descriptors.
Can I say the same about 'date_joined' and 'location'?
