DRF LMS Backend

Overview

Backend REST API for a Learning Management System (LMS) built with Django Rest Framework.

The system provides course access control based on payment status. After purchasing a course, users gain access to sections containing educational materials. Each material may include an associated test.

User registration with extended profile fields is implemented using Djoser.

Authentication supports both:

• JWT authentication
• DRF token authentication

Account registration includes email verification via confirmation email.

Data validation is implemented at multiple levels:

• serializer validation
• model validation
• database constraints

The project includes:

• unit test coverage
• automatically generated OpenAPI documentation
• configured CORS support
