Frontend Integration

The frontend uses the following files:

• lib/api/aboutService.ts - API service for fetching data
• lib/hooks/useAbout.ts - React hooks for data management
• Components in components/pages/about/ - Updated to use API data

Usage Example

import { useAbout } from '@/lib/hooks/useAbout';

const AboutPage = () => {
  const { data, loading, error } = useAbout();

  if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error}</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{data?.banner.title}</h1>
      <p>{data?.banner.description}</p>
      {/* Render other sections */}
    </div>
  );
};

Admin Interface

All models are available in the Django admin interface for easy content management:

• Navigate to /admin/ after creating a superuser
• Manage about us content through the admin interface
• Upload images and manage relationships between models
