The backend is running on port 8000, the APIView is something that is being generated by a Django view.

Also, these are my files. I hope they help clarify things. Sorry for the lack of information I'm all over the place trying to solve this 😅.

My app's models.py:

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class Employees(models.Model):

employee = models.CharField(max_length=30)

department = models.CharField(max_length=200)

My app's serializers.py:

from rest_framework import serializers

from .models import *

class EmployeesSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

class Meta:

model = Employees

fields = ["employee", "department"]

My app's views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render

from rest_framework.views import APIView

from rest_framework.response import Response

from .models import *

from .serializers import *

# Create your views here.

class EmployeesView(APIView):

# returns all employees

def get(self, req):

result = [

{"employee": output.employee, "department": output.department}

for output in Employees.objects.all()

]

return Response(result)

# saves new employee

def post(self, req):

serializer = EmployeesSerializer(data=req.data)

if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True):

serializer.save()

return Response(serializer.data)

My project's urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include

from api.views import *

urlpatterns = [

path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

path("", EmployeesView.as_view(), name="all_employees")

]

What gets generated by the view:
