Course 27: Building a Real Feature End to End — A Django REST API
Course 27: Building a Real Feature End to End — A Django REST API | Code2Vibe Academy
No new setup, no new toolchain — just the Django project you already have, and one real feature built from nothing to fully tested, entirely through vibe coding.
In this 30-minute walkthrough, you'll build a complete product reviews and ratings feature on the python_products project from Course 25 — a new model, a service-layer function, a paginated API, edge-case validation, and a full pytest suite — end to end, start to finish.
⚡ What you'll learn in 30 minutes:
→ Framing a real feature with the four-part prompt: Goal, Context, Constraints, Output Format
→ Reviewing a data model and migration before approving — foreign keys, a validated rating, a unique constraint
→ Keeping business logic in the service layer, never the view
→ Building a serializer, a POST endpoint, and a paginated GET endpoint
→ Surfacing computed data — average rating and review count — on an existing endpoint
→ Naming edge cases plainly: bad input, duplicate submissions, unauthenticated requests
→ Writing pytest tests as your safety net, then verifying the feature live on localhost:8000
🧠 The mental model you'll walk away with:
Describe the feature, not the implementation. Let your project's own standards carry the rules so you never repeat them. Review the plan, watch it come together, confirm the edge cases out loud, trust the tests — then verify it with your own eyes. That loop works for any feature, on any project.
