# Combined Django React Root





## Description

This project is a web application that combines a Django backend with a React frontend. The Django application serves as the backend API, managing data and providing endpoints for the React frontend to interact with. The application is designed to manage a collection of books, allowing users to view, add, and authenticate against the book records.

## Features

- **Django Backend**:

  - RESTful API built using Django REST Framework.

  - User authentication and authorization.

  - Management of book records, including creation, retrieval, and listing.

- **React Frontend**:

  - Built using Create React App.

  - Interactive user interface for managing books.

  - Fetches data from the Django API and displays it to users.

## Technologies Used

- **Backend**:

  - Django 5.1

  - Django REST Framework

  - SQLite (default database)

  - Faker (for generating fake data)

- **Frontend**:

  - React

  - Axios (for making API requests)

## Installation
