🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Framework sudah tersedia di django_autoapi/ directory.

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_autoapi',
    'rest_framework',
    'django_filters',
]

Basic Usage

# models.py
from django.db import models

class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    stock = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

# api.py
from django_autoapi import AutoAPI

class ProductAPI(AutoAPI):
    model = Product
    filterable = ['name', 'price', 'is_active']
    searchable = ['name', 'description']
    orderable = ['created_at', 'price', 'name']

# urls.py
from django_autoapi import AutoAPIRouter
from myapp.api import ProductAPI

router = AutoAPIRouter()
router.register(ProductAPI)

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/', include(router.urls)),
]

Generated Endpoints:

GET    /api/products/              # List with filtering, search, pagination
POST   /api/products/              # Create new product
GET    /api/products/{id}/         # Retrieve single product
PUT    /api/products/{id}/         # Full update
PATCH  /api/products/{id}/         # Partial update
DELETE /api/products/{id}/         # Delete product

---

🔐 Row-Level Security (Record Rules)

Automatic data filtering berdasarkan user dan permissions:

from django_autoapi.recordrules.models import RecordRule
from django_autoapi.recordrules.engine import RecordRuleEngine
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType

# 1. Enable record rules in API
class StudentAPI(AutoAPI):
    model = Student
    enable_record_rules = True  # ⭐ Enable row-level security

# 2. Define rule (via admin or code)
ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Student)
rule = RecordRule.objects.create(
    name='Teachers see own students',
    content_type=ct,
    domain_filter={'teacher_id': '${user.id}'},  # Template variables!
    perm_read=True,
    perm_write=True
)
rule.groups.add(teacher_group)

# 3. Result: Teachers automatically see only their students!
# GET /api/students/ → Filtered by teacher_id = current user

Combining Modes: AND vs OR

# AND Mode (default) - All rules must match
engine = RecordRuleEngine(user)  # Default AND
filtered = engine.apply_rules(Student.objects.all())
# Only shows students matching ALL applicable rules

# OR Mode - Any rule can match
engine = RecordRuleEngine(user, combine_mode='OR')
filtered = engine.apply_rules(Student.objects.all())
# Shows students matching ANY applicable rule

Real-world example: Department heads access own department OR supervised departments:

# Rules:
# 1. department_id = own_department
# 2. department_id = supervised_dept_1
# 3. department_id = supervised_dept_2

# With OR mode: Can access any of these departments
engine = RecordRuleEngine(user, combine_mode='OR')

---

⚡ Performance Optimization

Caching (75x faster)

from django_autoapi.recordrules.performance import cache_rule_evaluation

@cache_rule_evaluation(timeout=300)  # Cache for 5 minutes
def expensive_rule_check(user, model_class):
    engine = RecordRuleEngine(user)
    return engine.apply_rules(model_class.objects.all())

# First call: 150ms
result1 = expensive_rule_check(user, Product)

# Subsequent calls: 2ms (75x faster!)
result2 = expensive_rule_check(user, Product)

# Cache automatically invalidated when rules change

Query Optimization (50-100x faster)

from django_autoapi.recordrules.performance import QueryOptimizer

optimizer = QueryOptimizer()
rules = RecordRule.objects.filter(content_type=ct)

# Automatically applies select_related for foreign keys
optimized_qs = optimizer.optimize_rule_queryset(
    Product.objects.all(),
    rules
)

# Eliminates N+1 queries:
# Before: 1001 queries (1 + N for related objects)
# After:  2 queries (main + prefetch)

Performance Monitoring

from django_autoapi.recordrules.performance import RuleStatistics

# Get statistics
stats = RuleStatistics.get_rule_usage_stats(Product, days=30)
print(f"Active rules: {stats['active_rules']}")
print(f"Total rules: {stats['total_rules']}")

# Get AI-generated recommendations
recommendations = RuleStatistics.get_performance_recommendations(Product)
for rec in recommendations:
    print(f"{rec['type']}: {rec['message']}")

🎯 Custom Endpoints

Basic Custom Action

from django_autoapi import AutoAPI, endpoint

    instance.status_date = serializer.validated_data['effective_date']
    instance.save()

    return EndpointResponse.success(
        message='Status updated successfully'
    )

🛠️ Helper Utilities

EndpointResponse

Consistent response formatting untuk custom endpoints.

from django_autoapi.utils import EndpointResponse

# Success response (200 OK)
return EndpointResponse.success(
    data={'key': 'value'},
    message='Operation successful'
)

# Error response (400 Bad Request)
return EndpointResponse.error(
    message='Invalid input',
    errors={'field': 'error detail'},
    status_code=400
)

# Created response (201 Created)
return EndpointResponse.created(
    data={'id': 123},
    message='Created successfully'
)

# No content response (204 No Content)
return EndpointResponse.no_content()

# Success with serializer
return EndpointResponse.success_with_serializer(
    instance,
    MySerializer
)

EndpointValidation

Validation helpers untuk custom endpoints.

from django_autoapi.utils import EndpointValidation

# Require specific fields
EndpointValidation.require_fields(
    request.data,
    ['name', 'email', 'password']
)

# Validate exact status
EndpointValidation.validate_status(
    instance,
    'active',
    'Can only process active items'
)

# Validate NOT in status
EndpointValidation.validate_not_status(
    instance,
    'completed',
    'Cannot modify completed items'
)

# Generic condition validation
EndpointValidation.validate_condition(
    instance.stock > 0,
    'Product out of stock'
)

# Permission checking
EndpointValidation.check_permission(
    request.user,
    'app.approve_request',
    'You do not have permission to approve'
)

handle_endpoint_errors

Decorator untuk automatic error handling.

from django_autoapi.utils import handle_endpoint_errors

@endpoint(methods=['POST'], detail=True)
@handle_endpoint_errors
def risky_operation(self, request, instance):
    """
    Automatically catches and formats errors:
    - ValidationError → 400 Bad Request
    - PermissionDenied → 403 Forbidden
    - ValueError → 400 Bad Request

    model = Product
    exclude_fields = ['deleted']

# Summary view - custom fields
class ProductSummaryAPI(AutoAPI):
    model = Product
    fields = ['id', 'name', 'category', 'stock_level']

    @endpoint(methods=['GET'], detail=False)
    def summary(self, request, queryset):
