Python User Group Bonn, 16. April 2015

2. "Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit
that makes it easy to build Web APIs."
http://www.django-rest-framework.org/

3. BATTERIES INCLUDED
API Browser
Serialisierung von Daten und Django-Models
automatische View-Generierung
Sicherheitsmechanismen
Validierung, sinnvolle HTTP-Status-Codes, URL-Muster,
etc.
Doku, Doku, Doku...

4. HOW IT WORKS:
SERIALIZERS
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from rest_framework import serializers
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('url', 'username', 'email', 'groups')
class GroupSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Group
fields = ('url', 'name')

5. HOW IT WORKS: VIEWS
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
from rest_framework import viewsets
from quickstart.serializers import UserSerializer, GroupSerializer
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""API endpoint that allows users to be viewed or edited."""
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
class GroupViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""API endpoint that allows groups to be viewed or edited."""
queryset = Group.objects.all()
serializer_class = GroupSerializer

6. HOW IT WORKS:
ROUTER
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from rest_framework import routers
from tutorial.quickstart import views
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', views.UserViewSet)
router.register(r'groups', views.GroupViewSet)
# Wire up our API using automatic URL routing.
# Additionally, we include login URLs for the browsable API.
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^', include(router.urls)),
url(r'^api­auth/', include('rest_framework.urls'))
]

7. DONE.
