Testing database connection

• At the beginning database is empty clicking Post you create new database object and clicking patch you add item to it.
• You can also observe this change in Django-shell by running python manage.py shell Example query:

from rest.hello_world.models import Counter
Counter.objects.count()
for item in Counter.objects.all():
    item.__dict__
// In example you can get dictionary for item showing in testing site by
// Counter.objects.last().__dict__
// Changing it by
// c = Counter.objects.last() 
// c.count = 9999
// c.save()
// now count in ui should be updated as well
