-Getting Started - Model Views
------------------------------
-
-.. note::
-
- A live sandbox instance of this API is available:
-
- http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/
-
- You can browse the API using a web browser, or from the command line::
-
- curl -X GET http://rest.ep.io/resource-example/ -H 'Accept: text/plain'
-
-Often you'll want parts of your API to directly map to existing django models. Django REST framework handles this nicely for you in a couple of ways:
-
-#. It automatically provides suitable create/read/update/delete methods for your views.
-#. Input validation occurs automatically, by using appropriate `ModelForms <http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/>`_.
-
-Here's the model we're working from in this example:
-
-``models.py``
-
-.. include:: ../../examples/modelresourceexample/models.py
- :literal:
-
-To add an API for the model, first we need to create a Resource for the model.
-
-``resources.py``
-
-.. include:: ../../examples/modelresourceexample/resources.py
- :literal:
-
-Then we simply map a couple of views to the Resource in our urlconf.
-
-``urls.py``
-
-.. include:: ../../examples/modelresourceexample/urls.py
- :literal:
-
-And we're done. We've now got a fully browseable API, which supports multiple input and output media types, and has all the nice automatic field validation that Django gives us for free.
-
-We can visit the API in our browser:
-
-* http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/
-
-Or access it from the command line using curl:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
- # Demonstrates API's input validation using form input
- bash: curl -X POST --data 'foo=true' http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/
- {"detail": {"bar": ["This field is required."], "baz": ["This field is required."]}}
-
- # Demonstrates API's input validation using JSON input
- bash: curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"foo":true}' http://rest.ep.io/model-resource-example/
- {"detail": {"bar": ["This field is required."], "baz": ["This field is required."]}}
