django-rest-admin

This is a django app that attempts to get the django orm to hook up to restful services instead of the database. So instead of querying data from a database, you would be querying data from a rest api.

In your models.py instead of inheriting from django.db.models.Model, you would inherit from mservice_model.models.ServiceModel

A sample looks like This

from mservice_model.models import ServiceModel
from .api import instance as request_api

class BaseRequestTutor(ServiceModel):
    _service_api = request_api

    class Meta:
        ordering = ('id',)
        verbose_name = "Client Request Detail"

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<BaseRequestTutor {}>".format(self.email)

where request_api is as follows

import json
from mservice_model.api import Bunch, FetchHelpers, ServiceApi


class FetchAPI(FetchHelpers):

    def get_object_by_id(self, request_id, cls=Bunch):
        data = self._fetch_data('GET', self._path(
            '/requests/{}'.format(request_id)))
        return [self._make_base_request(data, cls)]

    def get_values_list(self, *args, **kwargs):
        field_names = ",".join(args)
        params = {**kwargs, **{'field': field_names}}
        return self._fetch_data('GET', self._path('/requests/values_list'), params=params)

    def get_fields(self):
        return self._fetch_data('OPTIONS', self._path('/requests/'))['actions']['POST']

    def get_all_objects(self, filter_by, order_by, cls):
        params = {**filter_by, **{'field_name': 'modified'}}
        if order_by:
            params.update(ordering=','.join(order_by))
        print(order_by)
        data = self._fetch_data('GET', self._path('/requests/'), params=params)
        as_objects = [self._make_base_request(o, cls) for o in data['results']]
        total = data['count']
        date_range = data.get('date_range')
        last_id = data.get('last_id')
        return as_objects, total, date_range, last_id

    def get_datetimes(self, field_name, kind, order, filter_query, **kwargs):
        params = dict(field_name=field_name, kind=kind,
                      order=order, filter_query=json.dumps(filter_query))
        return self._fetch_data('GET', self._path('/requests/datetimes'), params=params)

    def get_date_range(self, field_name):
        params = dict(field_name=field_name)
        return self._fetch_data('GET', self._path('/requests/date_range'), params=params)


instance = ServiceApi(FetchAPI("http://192.168.56.101:8000"))

Take a look at the todo package to get a feel of how it would be implemented.
