django-autorest 1.0.1

AutoREST

Documentation: https://django-autorest.readthedocs.io

Source: https://github.com/gregschmit/django-autorest

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/django-autorest/

AutoREST is a reusable Django app for building REST APIs from model definitions and (optionally) admin.py definitions.

The Problem: Building APIs for models is boring.

The Solution: This app builds them for you, optionally using your AdminSite as a guide, and you can just focus on the custom stuff.

How to Use

$ pip install django-autorest

Include autorest in your INSTALLED_APPS.

{
    'auth': {
        'User': {
            'viewset': 'autorest.sample_user_viewset.UserViewSet',
        },
    },
}

Development

AutoREST comes with a settings.py file, allowing it to run as a standalone project.

$ git clone https://github.com/gregschmit/django-autorest

Then you can go into the django-autorest directory and do the initial migrations and run the server (you may need to type python3 rather than python):

$ cd django-autorest
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
...
$ python manage.py runserver

Then you can see the api at http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/.
