We'll authenticate as that user later in our example.</p> +<pre><code>python manage.py createsuperuser +</code></pre> +<p>Once you've set up a database and initial user created and ready to go, open up the app's directory and we'll get coding...</p> +<h2 id="serializers">Serializers</h2> +<p>First up we're going to define some serializers. Let's create a new module named <code>tutorial/quickstart/serializers.py</code> that we'll use for our data representations.</p> +<pre><code>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') +</code></pre> +<p>Notice that we're using hyperlinked relations in this case, with <code>HyperlinkedModelSerializer</code>. You can also use primary key and various other relationships, but hyperlinking is good RESTful design.</p> +<h2 id="views">Views</h2> +<p>Right, we'd better write some views then. Open <code>tutorial/quickstart/views.py</code> and get typing.</p> +<pre><code>from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group +from rest_framework import viewsets +from tutorial.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 +</code></pre> +<p>Rather than write multiple views we're grouping together all the common behavior into classes called <code>ViewSets</code>.</p> +<p>We can easily break these down into individual views if we need to, but using viewsets keeps the view logic nicely organized as well as being very concise.</p> +<p>Notice that our viewset classes here are a little different from those in the <a href="../../../#example">frontpage example</a>, as they include <code>queryset</code> and <code>serializer_class</code> attributes, instead of a <code>model</code> attribute.</p> +<p>For trivial cases you can simply set a <code>model</code> attribute on the <code>ViewSet</code> class and the serializer and queryset will be automatically generated for you. Setting the <code>queryset</code> and/or <code>serializer_class</code> attributes gives you more explicit control of the API behaviour, and is the recommended style for most applications.</p> +<h2 id="urls">URLs</h2> +<p>Okay, now let's wire up the API URLs. On to <code>tutorial/urls.py</code>...</p> +<pre><code>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 browseable API. +urlpatterns = [ + url(r'^', include(router.urls)), + url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')) +] +</code></pre> +<p>Because we're using viewsets instead of views, we can automatically generate the URL conf for our API, by simply registering the viewsets with a router class.</p> +<p>Again, if we need more control over the API URLs we can simply drop down to using regular class based views, and writing the URL conf explicitly.</p> +<p>Finally, we're including default login and logout views for use with the browsable API. That's optional, but useful if your API requires authentication and you want to use the browsable API.</p> +<h2 id="settings">Settings</h2> +<p>We'd also like to set a few global settings. We'd like to turn on pagination, and we want our API to only be accessible to admin users. The settings module will be in <code>tutorial/settings.py</code></p> +<pre><code>INSTALLED_APPS = ( + ... + 'rest_framework', +) + +REST_FRAMEWORK = { + 'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': ('rest_framework.permissions.IsAdminUser',), + 'PAGINATE_BY': 10 +} +</code></pre> +<p>Okay, we're done.</p> +<hr /> +<h2 id="testing-our-api">Testing our API</h2> +<p>We're now ready to test the API we've built. Let's fire up the server from the command line.</p> +<pre><code>python ./manage.py runserver +</code></pre> +<p>We can now access our API, both from the command-line, using tools like <code>curl</code>...</p> +<pre><code>bash: curl -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -u admin:password http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/ +{ + "count": 2, + "next": null, + "previous": null, + "results": [ + { + "email": "admin@example.com", + "groups": [], + "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/1/", + "username": "admin" + }, + { + "email": "tom@example.com", + "groups": [ ], + "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/2/", + "username": "tom" + } + ] +} +</code></pre> +<p>Or directly through the browser...</p> +<p><img alt="Quick start image" src="../../../img/quickstart.png" /></p> +<p>If you're working through the browser, make sure to login using the control in the top right corner.</p> +<p>Great, that was easy!</p> +<p>If you want to get a more in depth understanding of how REST framework fits together head on over to <a href="../1-serialization">the tutorial</a>, or start browsing the <a href="../../../#api-guide">API guide</a>.</p> + + </div> + <!--/span--> + </div> + <!--/row--> + </div> + <!--/.fluid-container--> + </div> + <!--/.body content--> + <div id="push"></div> + </div> + <!--/.wrapper --> + + <footer class="span12"> + <p>Sponsored by <a href="http://dabapps.com/">DabApps</a>.</a> + </p> + </footer> + + <!-- Le javascript + ================================================== --> + <!-- Placed at the end of the document so the pages load faster --> + <script src="../../js/jquery-1.8.1-min.js"></script> + <script src="../../js/prettify-1.0.js"></script> + <script src="../../js/bootstrap-2.1.1-min.js"></script> + + <script> + //$('.side-nav').scrollspy() + var shiftWindow = function() { + scrollBy(0, -50) + }; + if (location.hash) shiftWindow(); + window.addEventListener("hashchange", shiftWindow); + + $('.dropdown-menu').on('click touchstart', function(event) { + event.stopPropagation(); + }); + + // Dynamically force sidenav to no higher than browser window + $('.side-nav').css('max-height', window.innerHeight - 130); + + $(function() { + $(window).resize(function() { + $('.side-nav').css('max-height', window.innerHeight - 130); + }); + }); + </script> +</body> + +</html>
