I can help with this - just need to coordinate with others on which API views (queries) I will do.

[nikolajbaer]

@CarlGraff why not try doing the loans for user and items for user.

You can reference the ProfileViewSet in lending/authenticated_views.py, but return Loan.objects.filter(item__owner__user=request.user).

Submit a PR and I will review / comment on your Django code.

Also make sure to build a test in the lending/test_api.py, which you can run with manage.py test lending. You can reference my test for the profile view there.

@nikolajbaer I would be able to help with this, which ones should I do?

Great! Try doing some of the "get" ones first, e.g. the "title request", "loans", and "items" for user

[BolunThompson]

I'm looking at the code and is it just as simple to create "loans for user" by copying ProfileViewSet but then replacing return from ProfileViewSet with "Loan.objects.filter(item__owner__user=request.user)" wrapped in a serializer? Sorry if I'm missing something major, this is my first time working with API views.

@BolunThompson, looking back, I might have done some of these get views already:

https://github.com/opensandiego/p2p-lending/blob/master/p2plending/lending/authenticated_views.py

It looks like the user's title request view is not done yet, so that might be a good one to start (i think that is stubbed out at the bottom).

If you can make it this coming Tuesday evening (8/20), I would be happy to work with you on that. Otherwise hit me up on slack!

[BolunThompson]

Okay, I can come next Tuesday.
