API & Forms

The ioVote project uses Django's built-in forms for handling user input but does not currently expose a public API.

Forms Overview

Django forms validate and process user input securely. The key forms include:

Authentication Forms

• LoginForm – User login validation.
• SignupForm – Registers new users with secure credentials.

Voting Forms

• VoteForm – Ensures one vote per session.
• OptionForm – Manages voting options (admin use).

Admin Forms

• SessionForm – Manages voting sessions.
• ResultForm – Handles voting results.

API-Like Behavior & Future Enhancements

While ioVote lacks an API, Django's class-based views and forms provide structured interactions. Potential future additions: - User Authentication API – Token-based login. - Voting API – Cast votes via API. - Results API – Retrieve results in JSON.

Currently, all interactions are web-based using Django forms.
