Minor Project 1 (Chatbot API)

This app is JSON api server for the chatbot in android app

Installation:

I don't know how exactly to copy a django project but just create a new django project and copy paste all the things from this repo to that folder and append these lines to settings.py

import os

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'resources/'),
)

Running App:

Connect your phone and laptop/pc to a common wifi network and then run

$ python manage.py runserver 192.168.43.111:8000 

If your wifi broadcast ip is not 192.168.43.111 then check it and change it accordingly.

How to use:

• React Native / Javascript: Use fetch API to call the local server at /api endpoint. For example:
  

/**
 * @description Calls the endpoint and gets the result back 
 * @param {string} question for the chatbot
 */
 const RequestResponse = async( messageFromUser ) => {
    try {
      fetch('http://192.168.43.111:8000/api/', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          q: messageFromUser,
        }),
      }).then((response)=> response.json()).then((responseJSON)=>{
        console.log(responseJSON.answer)
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log(err);
    }
 }

• Postman: Run the django server

$ python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000

1. Edit the header:
