- 3. Reminder • It is Django ! ! • It is Python !
- 4. Fully featured • Serializers • ModelSerializers • Parsers • Renderers • Authentication • Permission • Throttling • Routers • Views • ViewSets • Filtering • Testing • Pagination
- 5. from rest_framework.decorators import api_view! ! @api_view(['GET'])! def hello_world(request):! return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"}) but loosely coupled Authentication Content negotiation Serializers Generic views
- 8. pre/post save class MyCreateView(CreateAPIView):! model = models.MyModel! serializer_class = serializers.MySerializer! ! def post_save(self, obj, created):! if created:! obj.reviewers = [user1, user2]!
- 9. Class based views class MyMixin(object):! model = models.MyModel! serializer_class = serializers.MySerializer! ! ! class MyCreateView(MyMixin, CreateAPIView):! pass! • MRO: mixins are on the left side
- 10. # views.py! class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):! queryset = User.objects.all()! serializer_class = UserSerializer! ! # urls.py! router = DefaultRouter()! router.register(r'users', views.UserViewSet)! ! urlpatterns = patterns('',! url(r'^', include(router.urls)),! )! Viewsets & routers Nice to get started but optional
- 11. Auth / Permissions • Auth are for knowing who you are ! • Permissions are to grant you access
