Database Configuration Instructions

If you just want to test the project without setting up a new database, the project is preconfigured to use the following test and development database URLs:

• Test Database URL: mongodb+srv://user:[email protected]/testdb?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0&authSource=admin
• Development Database URL: mongodb+srv://user:[email protected]/todo?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0&authSource=admin

To Use Preconfigured Database

1. Simply run the project as outlined above without changing the database settings.

To Set Up a New Database

If you want to create and use your own database, follow these steps:

1. Update Database Configuration

   • Open settings.py and replace the DATABASES section with your database connection details:

     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             'ENGINE': 'djongo',
             'NAME': 'your_database_name',
             'CLIENT': {
                 'host': 'your_host',
                 'port': 27017,
                 'username': 'your_username',
                 'password': 'your_password',
             }
         }
     }

2. Apply Migrations

   • Set up the database schema:

     python manage.py migrate

3. Run the Project

   • Start the server:

     python manage.py runserver
