Fast to learn, fast to code, fast to run
Penta - Fast Django REST Framework
Penta is a web framework for building APIs with Django and Python 3.10+ type hints, forked from Django Ninja to focus on opinionated integrations.
Please have a look at the original Django Ninja and leave a star as the job done by the original author is great.
Key features:
- Easy: Designed to be easy to use and intuitive.
- FAST execution: Very high performance thanks to Pydantic and async support.
- Fast to code: Type hints and automatic docs lets you focus only on business logic.
- Dependency injection: the views declare what they need, penta resolves it.
- Standards-based: Based on the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema.
- Django friendly: (obviously) has good integration with the Django core and ORM.
Documentation: As Penta is a fork of django ninja, you can start here. We will create a dedicated documentation for Penta soon!
Installation
pip install penta
Usage
In your django project next to urls.py create new api.py file:
from penta import Penta
api = Penta()
@api.get("/add")
def add(request, a: int, b: int):
return {"result": a + b}
Now go to urls.py and add the following:
...
from .api import api
urlpatterns = [
path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
path("api/", api.urls), # <---------- !
]
That's it !
Now you've just created an API that:
- receives an HTTP GET request at
/api/add - takes, validates and type-casts GET parameters
aandb - decodes the result to JSON
- generates an OpenAPI schema for defined operation
Interactive API docs
Now go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/docs
You will see the automatic interactive API documentation (provided by Swagger UI or Redoc):
