Django app for direct client access to all models.
Project description
This is a little application for direct access to all the models and their data in a project. By default, the application has access for users with is_staff mark. But this and much more can be changed.
It might interest you if you use Django as the backend to some kind of external client application. There are no templates for formatting and displaying of data on the client. Only JSON. Only direct data. All quickly and sharply.
Installation
pip install django-directapps
Change your next project files.
# settins.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'directapps',
...
)
# urls.py
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^apps/', include('directapps.urls', namespace="directapps")),
...
]
Start the development server Django, if it is not running.
Now you can open a browser to this address to see a list of available applications and links to data schematics for each.
Note, unlike many of the application with REST, a description of the data for client applications is not transmitted with every call, and exists as a separate resource, allowing you to do everything faster. This means that:
The client gets the list of available applications.
Gets application schema which describes what data can be provided and on what resource they are.
And only then begin to work with the data.
The client application is responsible for the maintenance of relations between data models for fields with external links have the attribute “relation” that contains the full name of the relation.
Enjoy!
Testing
You can look at the example works in the JavaScript console and use it as a test.
function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) return c.substring(name.length,c.length);
}
return "";
}
function getResponse(method, url, data) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(method, url, false);
if (!(/^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|TRACE)$/.test(method.toUpperCase()))) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", getCookie('csrftoken'));
}
xhr.send(data);
if (xhr.status == 200) return JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
console.error(xhr.responseText);
}
var group1 = getResponse('post', '/apps/auth/group/', 'name=Operators 1'),
group2 = getResponse('post', '/apps/auth/group/', 'name=Operators 2');
getResponse('get', '/apps/auth/group/?o=name,-id&q=operators&p=1&l=3&id__gte=1');
getResponse('delete', '/apps/auth/group/', 'id='+group1.pk+','+group2.pk);
