django-simple-json-api 0.0.3

Create simple JSON APIs with Django

Django Simple JSON API

Install

pip install django-simple-json-api

Instructions

Add dsjapi.decorators.api or dsjapi.decorators.api_rq to your view function.
Return a JSON serializable object or a django.http.HttpResponse object.
Raising a dsjapi.exceptions.ServerException exception will automatically return the appropriate JSON response.

Decorator parameters

• field
dsjapi.fields.Field
  Expected field in request body. Default is None.
• allowedMethods
list of str
  Allowed HTTP methods (uppercase). Default is ["GET", "POST"].
• safeEncoding
bool
True to allow non-dict response objects. Default is False.

@api vs @api_rq

• @api only provides the validated request data.
• @api_rq provides a dsjapi.decorators.Request object that contains both request (the original django.http.HttpRequest object) and data (the validated request data) attributes.

Examples

Views

from dsjapi.decorators import api
from dsjapi.fields import *

@api (DictField ({
    "name": StringField (minLength=2, maxLength=32, regex=r'^[a-zA-Z ]+$'),

    "age": IntField (min=18, max=130)
}))
def index (data):
    result = putUser (data["name"], data["bio"], data["age"])
    return { "result": result }

    "time": FloatField (min=120, max=60*60)

def index (data):
    sum = 0
    for number in data["numbers"]:
        sum += number
    avg = sum / len (data["numbers"])
    return { "average": avg }

from dsjapi.decorators import api

@api (DictField ({

Custom fields

from dsjapi.fields import IntField, FieldException

class EvenNumberField (IntField):

    def __init__ (self, min=None, max=None, missing=Field.Do.RAISE, error=Field.Do.RAISE, default=None):
        super ().__init__ (int, min=min, max=max, missing=missing, error=error, default=default)

    def clean (self, value):
        value = super ().clean (value)
        if value % 2 != 0:
            raise FieldException ("Odd number")
        return value
