DRF-Admin

A package to generate CRUD endpoints for registered models with the Django-REST Framework.

Requirements

• Django Rest Framework

Installation

pip install drf-admin

Usage

• Import restadmin in the admin.py
• Call restadmin.site.register(Model) Model being the model to register
• Add rest admin to your urls.py file

Prerequisite

• rest_framework should be properly set up to use this package hitch free

A sample of it's configuration in the settings file:

 REST_FRAMEWORK={
            'DEFAULT_SCHEMA_CLASS': 'rest_framework.schemas.coreapi.AutoSchema',
            'TEST_REQUEST_RENDERER_CLASSES': [
                'rest_framework.renderers.MultiPartRenderer',
                'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
                'rest_framework.renderers.TemplateHTMLRenderer', ],
            "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": [
                'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
                'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication'
            ],
            "DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES": [
                'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
            ]
        }

For example:

models.py

from django.db import models

class TestModel(models.Model):
    age = models.IntegerField()

admin.py

from .models import TestModel
import restadmin

restadmin.site.register(TestModel)

urls.py

from restadmin import site
from django.urls import path




urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('restadmin/', site.urls),
    ...
]

Customization

This package allows you to specify the following when registering your model

• serializer: A Model Serializer Class
• permission_classes: A list of Permission classes
• pagination_classs: A Pagination Class

An example of how a call to the register method with all 3 would look is :

restadmin.site.register(TestModel, serializer=AdminSerializer, permission_classes=[ReadOnly], 
                        pagination_class=LargeResultsSetPagination)

Endpoint Documentation

• This requires you to have coreapi installed

A page to document the Endpoints generated can be accessed by adding the following to your base urls file

from restadmin import site


urlpatterns = [
   ...
    path('restadmin-docs/', site.docs)
    ...
]

Using this would require you to have your default schema Class set in your REST_FRAMEWORK config in your settings.py file E.g

REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'DEFAULT_SCHEMA_CLASS': 'rest_framework.schemas.coreapi.AutoSchema' }

Run your server and you can find the documentation at http://127.0.0.1:8000/restadmin-docs NOTE: The Documentation page is restricted to staff only(is_staff has to be True)

Tests

To run the tests:

From the base directory run :

python load_tests.py
