This project is designed to provide a comprehensive platform for managing contacts, message templates, message logs, and recipient logs. SwiftSend offers a suite of features to help individuals and businesses stay connected with their contacts and streamline their messaging workflows. With intuitive API endpoints with robust functionality, my platform empowers users to:\n\n-   Manage Contacts: Easily store, organize, and update contact information for individuals.\n-   Create Templates: Craft reusable message templates to save time and ensure consistency in communication.\n-   Send bult SMS to their contacts.\n-   Track Message Logs: Keep a record of all sent messages, including delivery status and timestamps.\n-   Resend or edit and resend an SMS from the logs.\n\n## Features\n\n-   **Contact Management:** Create, update, and delete contacts.\n-   **Template Creation:** Design customizable message templates with dynamic placeholders for personalized content.\n-   **Message Logging:** Record details of sent messages, including content, recipients, timestamps, and delivery status.\n-   **Send Bulk SMS and Personalized templates to contacts at once.**\n-   **Resend or Edit and Resend SMS from message logs.**\n\nThis project serves as a task as part of my recruitment process for a Backend Engineering role. It represents an opportunity for me to showcase my skills and expertise in developing backend solutions using Django, a powerful web framework for Python.\n\nThroughout this project, I demonstrated my proficiency in various aspects of backend development, including:\n\n1. **Database Design and Management**: Designing and implementing efficient database models to store and manage data effectively of which I used the \u003cstrong\u003e`Postgres Database`\u003c/strong\u003e from \u003ca href=\"https://supabase.com/database\"\u003eSupabase\u003c/a\u003e a Cloud Database Plateform\n\n2. **API Development**: I created robust APIs to facilitate communication between any SMS frontend and this backend application. Utilizing the \u003cstrong\u003e`Django`\u003c/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e`Django Rest Framework`\u003c/strong\u003e, I was able to achieve this with a few lines of code.\n\n3. **Testing**: I wrote a comprehensive tests with the \u003ca href=\"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-cov/\"\u003ePytest-Cov\u003c/a\u003e library to ensure the reliability and stability of the backend codebase.\n\n4. **Documentation**: With the help of the \u003ca href=\"https://drf-spectacular.readthedocs.io/en/latest/readme.html\"\u003eDRF-Spectacular\u003c/a\u003e library, I was able to generate a clear and concise documentation to guide future developers and users of the system.\n\n5. **Deployment**: Finally, I deployed the application to \u003ca href=\"https://www.koyeb.com/\"\u003eKoyeb\u003c/a\u003e production environment, ensuring that it is secure, scalable, and accessible to end-users.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n```\n    python3.10\n    django\n    djanfo-restframework\n    docker (*optional)\n```\n\n## Installation\n\n1. #### Clone this repository\n\n```\n    git clone https://github.com/juliusmarkwei/ecommerce-backend.git\n    cd ecommerce-backend/\n```\n\n2. #### Install all the neccessary packages/dependencies\n\n```\n    pip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n3. #### Environment Variables\n\n-   Create a \u003cstrong\u003e`.env`\u003c/strong\u003e. Inside the \u003cstrong\u003e.env\u003c/strong\u003e add a \u003cstrong\u003e`SECRET_KEY`\u003c/strong\u003e and your database configurations of the database of your choice. You can generate a \u003cstrong\u003e`SECRET_KEY`\u003c/strong\u003e using the following code snippet:\n\n```\n    from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key\n    print(get_random_secret_key())\n```\n\n-   Add the following line printed above to the \u003cstrong\u003e`.env`\u003c/strong\u003e file:\n\n```\n    SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here\n\n    DB_HOST=your_db_host\n    DB_USER=your_db_user\n    DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password\n    DB_NAME=your_db_name\n    DB_PORT=your_db_port\n    DB_ENGINE=your_db_engine\n\n    EMAIL_BACKEND=your_email_backend\n    EMAIL_HOST=your_email_host\n    EMAIL_PORT=your_email_port\n    EMAIL_HOST_USER=your_email_user\n    EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=your_email_password\n\n    AFRICASTALKING_API_KEY=your_api_key\n    AFRICASTALKING_USERNAME=your_username\n```\n\n3. #### Confguring Database Admin User\n    In the root directory of the project, create a superuser to manage all the users of the application. be sure python is installed before you proceed with this stage.\n\n```\n    python3 manage.py createsuperuser\n```\n\n4. #### Starting the server and Access the Application\n\n-   Run the command below to start the application server and access the application running on a default port 8000 via http://localhost:8000.\n\n```\n    python3 manage.py runserver\n```\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./assets/play.svg\" width=15px heigth=15px\u003e Enjoy SwiftSend\n\n## Some challenges I face during this project's journey\n\n-   template....\n\n## Get Involved\n\nWe welcome contributions and participation from the community to help make this e-commerce backend API even better!
