I have built a server with Django and I am receiving a 400 Bad Request within Postman when I check the POST method. However, it is displaying the JSON data within the Postman as well.
Originally, I thought it was a frontend issue, because my console log was stating
AxiosError {message: 'Request failed with status code 400', name: 'AxiosError', code: 'ERR_BAD_REQUEST', config: {…}, request: XMLHttpRequest, …}
As I stated before, the error is showing in Postman so I'm assuming it's actually a server issue.
Im real "finicky" when it comes to file colors, and if it is any color than the default color, I feel like there is errors within the file. Could these orange/beige files contain the problem? If I click on one of those files Im met with:
The file is not displayed in the editor because it is either binary or uses an unsupported text encoding.
Because I am new to django, I don't want to do something that's going to create an even bigger problem than what I already have.
Below will be my settings.py

Im not exactly sure what information everyone needs to provide a proper solution for this, but hopefully I have provided more than enough.
I think it is worth noting that I am using postgreql and my database is working properly, and I can access Django admin and manually enter data from there as well.
