Booking System Python Django Full Application + Source Code

If you’re looking to create a booking system using Python and Django, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of building a full application for a booking system using the Django framework. We’ll also provide you with the complete source code so you can follow along and see how everything works.

Getting Started with Python and Django

Before we dive into building the booking system, you’ll need to have Python and Django installed on your computer. If you don’t already have them, you can download and install Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/) and then use the ‘pip’ package manager to install Django by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install Django

Creating the Django Project

Once you have Django installed, you can start by creating a new Django project using the following command:

django-admin startproject booking_system

This will create a new directory called ‘booking_system’ with the necessary files and folders to get your Django project up and running. You can then navigate into this directory and create a new app for the booking system using the following command:

python manage.py startapp bookings

Building the Booking System

Now that you have your Django project and app set up, you can start building the booking system. You’ll need to define models for the different components of the system, such as users, bookings, and resources. You’ll also need to create views and templates for displaying and interacting with the booking system.

Models

Here’s an example of how you might define a model for the ‘Booking’ class in Django:


from django.db import models

class Booking(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
resource = models.ForeignKey(Resource, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
start_time = models.DateTimeField()
end_time = models.DateTimeField()


Views

Next, you’ll need to define views for creating, displaying, and managing bookings. You can use Django’s built-in generic views to quickly set up the necessary functionality.


from django.views.generic import ListView, CreateView, UpdateView, DeleteView
from .models import Booking

class BookingListView(ListView):
model = Booking

class BookingCreateView(CreateView):
model = Booking
fields = ['user', 'resource', 'start_time', 'end_time']


Templates

Finally, you’ll need to create HTML templates for rendering the booking system’s pages. You can use Django’s template language to insert dynamic content into your HTML templates.
