Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-fiction-outlines-api.readthedocs.io. The source code can be found at https://github.com/maceoutliner/django-fiction-outlines-api/.

Quickstart

Install Django Fiction Outlines API:

pip install django-fiction-outlines-api

Add it and dependencies to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    '
    'rest_framework',
    'taggit',
    'rules.apps.AutodiscoverRulesConfig',
    'rest_framework_rules',
    'fiction_outlines',
    'fiction_outlines_api',
    ...
)

If you have not already, add rules to you AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS.

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'rules.permissions.ObjectPermissionBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)

Unless you like to live dangerously, it is STRONGLY recommend you configure whichever database you use for outlines to have ATOMIC_REQUESTS to True.

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.postgresql",
        "NAME": "outlines",
        "ATOMIC_REQUESTS": True,
    }}

Add Django Fiction Outlines API’s URL patterns:

from fiction_outlines_api import urls as fiction_outlines_api_urls


urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^', include(fiction_outlines_api_urls)),
    ...
]

If you haven’t already installed fiction_outlines you should run python manage.py migrate now.
