DjangoLDP

A Django package that extends Django REST Framework to serve models following the W3C Linked Data Platform convention, with support for RDF serialization and ActivityPub federation.

Getting Started

Check the official documentation.


Settings

  • OIDC_ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_HEADERS: overrides the access control headers allowed in the Access-Control-Allow-Headers CORS header of responses. Defaults to authorization, Content-Type, if-match, accept, DPoP
  • ANONYMOUS_USER_NAME a setting inherited from dependency Django-Guardian
  • DJANGOLDP_PERMISSIONS: overrides the list of all permissions on all resources
  • SERIALIZER_CACHE: toggles the use of a built-in cache in the serialization of containers/resources
  • MAX_RECORDS_SERIALIZER_CACHE: sets the maximum number of serializer cache records, at which point the cache will be cleared (reset). Defaults to 10,000
  • SEND_BACKLINKS: enables the searching and sending of Activities to distant resources linked by users to this server
  • MAX_ACTIVITY_RESCHEDULES, DEFAULT_BACKOFF_FACTOR, DEFAULT_ACTIVITY_DELAY, DEFAULT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT tweaks the behaviour of the ActivityQueueService
  • STORE_ACTIVITIES: sets whether to store activities sent and backlinks received, or to treat them as transient (value should be "VERBOSE", "ERROR" or None). Defaults to "ERROR"
  • MAX_RECORDS_ACTIVITY_CACHE: sets the maximum number of serializer cache records, at which point the cache will be cleared (reset). If set to 0 disables the cache. Defaults to 10,000
  • ENABLE_SWAGGER_DOCUMENTATION: enables the automatic OpenAPI-based API schema and documentation generation, made available at http://yourserver/docs/ is the flag is set to True. Default to False
  • DISABLE_LOCAL_OBJECT_FILTER: disabled the LocalObjectBackendFilter which is processing-time costly and only need activation in federated architecture, so we preferred to add a way to disable it as a workaround for in-progress performances improvements. Default to False

Synopsis

This module is an add-on for Django REST Framework that serves a django model respecting the Linked Data Platform convention.

It aims at enabling people with little development skills to serve their own data, to be used with a LDP application.

Testing

Packaged with DjangoLDP is a tests module, containing unit tests

You can extend these tests and add your own test cases by following the examples in the code. You can then run your tests with: python -m unittest djangoldp.tests.runner

Check your datas integrity

Because of the way the DjangoLDP's federation work, you can reach some integrity issue within your datas.

You can check them with:

./manage.py check_integrity

You can ignore some servers:

./manage.py check_integrity --ignore "https://server/,https://another-server/"

Add you own commands to the check_integrity from your own package

Create a check_integrity.py file within your app folder containing:

def add_arguments(parser):
  parser.add_argument(
    "--my-own-argument",
    default=False,
    nargs="?",
    const=True,
    help="Some help text",
  )

def check_integrity(options):
  if(options["my_own_argument"]):
    print("You ran a check_integrity with --my-own-argument!")
  else:
    print("Run me with `./manage.py check_integrity --my-own-argument`")

You can see a sample on the check_integrity.py file of DjangoLDP.
