Bookmark Manager Web App

Description

This project is a Bookmark Manager Web App developed using Django for the back-end and Bootstrap for the front-end styling. The main function of the app is to allow users to add, view, and delete website bookmarks.

Features

• Add new bookmarks (title and URL).
• View a list of saved bookmarks.
• Delete bookmarks from the list.
• Responsive and clean design using Bootstrap.

Project Structure

The project follows a typical Django structure with a main app called bookmarks that handles all bookmark-related functionality.

• Backend:

  • bookmarks/models.py: Defines the Bookmark model, which stores the title and URL of each bookmark.
  • bookmarks/views.py: Manages the logic for displaying, adding, and deleting bookmarks.
  • bookmarks/urls.py: Maps URLs to the appropriate views.

• Frontend:

  • bookmarks/templates/bookmarks/bookmark_list.html: The HTML file that uses Bootstrap to display the user interface, such as forms and lists.

Development

1. Django Backend:

The backend is powered by Django. A simple Bookmark model is used to store the title and URL of each bookmark. The model looks like this:

2. Bootstrap Frontend:

The user interface is styled using Bootstrap, a popular CSS framework. This helps provide a clean and responsive design without the need for custom CSS. The main Bootstrap components used include:

• Form Controls: The form fields (title and URL) are styled using Bootstrap's form-control class for a consistent appearance.
• Buttons: Buttons for adding and deleting bookmarks are styled using the btn and btn-primary (for adding) and btn-danger (for deleting) classes.
• List Group: The saved bookmarks are displayed in a styled list using Bootstrap's list-group and list-group-item classes to ensure a clean, organized layout.

3. How It Works:

• Users can add a new bookmark by entering a title and URL and clicking the Add Bookmark button.
• The saved bookmarks are displayed as a list below the form, where each bookmark is a clickable link that opens in a new tab.
• Each bookmark has a Delete button that allows users to remove it from the list.
