This is a Django-based REST API for managing an elevator system.

The application is built using the Django framework and Django Rest Framework. The data is stored in a SQLite database that comes with Django by default. The logic of elevator control is kept in the Elevator model in the elevators app.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

You'll need to have Python 3 and Django installed on your local machine. If you don't have Python or Django installed, you can find the downloads and instructions here:

• Python: https://www.python.org/downloads/
• Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/install/

1. Clone this repository by running the following command in your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/your_username/elevator-problem.git

2. Navigate into the project directory:

   cd elevator_system

3. Install the necessary Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the migrations:

   python manage.py migrate

5. You're ready to go! Start the server:

   python manage.py runserver

Below are the available API endpoints and their functions:

1. GET /elevators/: Fetch all elevators
2. GET /elevators/<id>/: Fetch a specific elevator
3. GET /elevators/<id>/state/: Fetch the state of a specific elevator
4. GET /elevators/<id>/door/: Fetch the door status of a specific elevator
5. GET /elevators/<id>/current_floor/: Fetch the current floor of a specific elevator
6. GET /elevators/<id>/destination_floor/: Fetch the destination floor of a specific elevator
7. GET /elevators/<id>/requests/: Fetch all requests for a specific elevator
8. POST /elevators/: Create an elevator
9. POST /elevators/<id>/move_up/: Move a specific elevator up by one floor
10. POST /elevators/<id>/move_down/: Move a specific elevator down by one floor
11. POST /elevators/<id>/stop/: Stop a specific elevator
12. POST /elevators/<id>/open_door/: Open the door of a specific elevator
13. POST /elevators/<id>/close_door/: Close the door of a specific elevator
14. POST /elevators/<id>/add_request/: Add a floor request for a specific elevator
15. POST /requests/make_request/: Make a floor request

Note: Replace <id> with the actual ID of an elevator.

Open Terminal and Navigate to the project directory 'elevator_system' as above. To run the test_api.py file, type the following command: bash python3 test_api.py

test_api.py initializes 5 elevators and store their IDs. It also sends GET and POST requests to most of the API endpoints mentioned above.

To run the tests in tests.py, navigate to the project directory and type the following command: bash python manage.py test
