The library of simple helpers to build API with Django. Not aimed at implementing REST.
Requirements: Python 2.7+ and Django 1.8+. Installation:
$ pip install djapi
Most of the library needs no configuration, but if you want to use token authentication:
INSTALLED_APPS += ['djapi.authtoken']
DJAPI_AUTH = ['djapi.authtoken.use_token']
# Or add default django auth for e.g. debugging purposes
DJAPI_AUTH = ['djapi.authtoken.use_token', 'djapi.auth.use_contribauth']import djapi as api
posts_qs = api.queryset(Post).filter(visible=True) \
.values_but('visible', 'modified_on') \
.values_add(category='category__title') \
.map_types(Image, lambda img: img.url)
@api.catch(Post.DoesNotExist, status=404)
def post(request, pk):
return api.json(posts_qs.get(pk=pk))
def posts_list(request):
return api.json(api.paginate(request, posts_qs, per_page=20))
@api.auth_required
@api.user_passes_test(lambda user: user.is_staff)
@api.validate(PostForm)
def posts_create(request, post):
post.created_by = request.user
post.save()
return api.json(201, created=post.pk)
posts = api.route(get=posts_list, post=posts_create)
