Project Requirements:
Django Backend Angular Frontend SQL based DB Movies are not stored in the DB but fetched from IMDB database. We cannot save all the moves in our DB, however when a user search for a specific name, we have to use IMDB API to get all the information needed about the movie and display them to the user. When a user adds a movie to a list, it is sufficient to add only the IMDB id of such movie in corresponding table in the DB. Use sessions and middleware properly Use caching to store movies information instead of calling IMDB API every time.
Learning Objectives: Setting Up backend and frontend environment Password Hashing Use of third-party API Use of Caching, Sessions and Middleware
