Writing basic tests in DRF

Let us write a basic test for an API that sends a static response. First, let us have a basic API that returns "hello world!" as a response to a GET request. Add the following code to the blog/views.py file:

from rest_framework import status

def basic_req(request):
  if request.method == 'GET':
    resp = {"msg": "hello world!"}
    return Response(data=resp, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

The URL is configured as /blog/hello-world/, by adding the following code to the blog/urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [
    path("hello-world/", views.basic_req),
]

We have now created a basic URL that responds with a "hello world" response. We will now write a test case to verify the response for this API. In the following...
