Django Multi-action View

Overview

This tool can be used to route multiple actions to one endpoint in a Django project

Installation

Install using pip

pip install django-multi-action

Usage

• Create an action by inheriting BaseAction

from multiaction import  BaseAction
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.http import JsonResponse


class UserAction(BaseAction):

    def create_user(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        username = request.GET.get('username')
        user = User.objects.create(username=username)
        
        return JsonResponse(data={"id": user.id, "username": user.username}, status=201)

• Create a connector that inherit BaseConnector

from multiaction import  BaseConnector


class MyView(BaseConnector):
    actions = {'user': UserAction}

# urls.py

urlpatterns = [
      path('/actions', MyView.as_view())
]

• Sample curl request

curl --location --request GET 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/actions?action_id=user&target=create_user&username=sirrobot01' \

• When making a request to MyView, the following are required

1. action_id : This is the action to be implemented
2. target : This is the target/method to be implemented

Note:

• Each target/method on the action class has two positional arguments, self and request
• When making a GET request, your parameters will be accessible from request.GET, meanwhile, it will be accessible from request.POST when making a POST request
• If you want to use django rest framework and it's browsable API, you will need to add APIView to your action class

from multiaction import  BaseAction
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView


class UserAction(BaseAction, APIView):

    def create_user(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        username = request.GET.get('username')
        user = User.objects.create(username=username)
        
        return Response(data={"id": user.id, "username": user.username}, status=201)
