Gestus 0.2.1

Django application to manage some datas about Emencia client websites

Gestus is a Django app to collect and store datas about our Website projects at Emencia.

Although there is the Django admin to manage the Gestus objects, there is also a REST part which is used to create and update Website datas with a client.

Introduction

Gestus will store some datas about your project :

• Its name and a description;

• Its kind of environnement (integration or production);

• Its server hostname;

• The URL where the website project is published;

• A list of installed packages with their version;

Require

• djangorestframework >= 2.3

Install

Add PO Projects to your installed apps in settings :

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'gestus'
    'rest_framework'
    ...
)

Then add the djangorestframework settings :

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'PAGINATE_BY': 10,
    # Use hyperlinked styles by default.
    # Only used if the `serializer_class` attribute is not set on a view.
    'DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS': (
        'rest_framework.serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer',
    ),

    # Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
    # or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAdminUser',
        #'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly',
    ),
}

Finally mount its urls in your main urls.py :

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    (r'^gestus/', include('gestus.urls', namespace='gestus')),
    (r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
    ...
)

External API access

With djangorestframework a rest API will be available on :

/gestus/rest/

It is browsable for authenticated users with admin rights (is_staff on True), also the client will need to access to the API with an user accounts with the admin rights.

Gestus-client is client to use the API from your project.
