thinrest 3.0.0

# thinrest

#### Very thin layer over Django to implement REST API using [Tastypie library](https://github.com/django-tastypie/django-tastypie).

## Technology
* Python 2.7
* Django 1.5.12
* Tastypie 0.12.2

## Aim

To build a simple interface that can provide for CRUD operations for two types of Database tables:

1. Column based e.g. EMPLOYEE(FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP)

2. Key Value pairs e.g. SYSTEM_SETTINGS(SETTING_NAME, SETTING_VALUE)

## Quick start

1. ```pip install thinrest```

2. Add `thinrest` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'thinrest',
)
```

3. Include the thinrest URLs

```python
patterns = ('',
...
url(r'^thinrest/', include('thinrest.urls')),
)
```

## Usage

####Employee Table

Sample Data:

```{
"fields": {
"first_name": "Anurag",
"last_name": "Agarwal",
"address": "Wakad",
"city": "Pune",
"state": "Maharashtra",
"zip_code": "411057"
},
"model": "thinrest.employee",
"pk":1
}```

Employee LIST: GET http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/employee?format=json

Employee DETAIL: GET http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/employee/1?format=json

Employee CREATE / UPDATE: POST http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/employee/

Employee DETELE: DELETE http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/employee/1/

####Settings Table

Settings table is a key-value pair type table. Passing `id` to REST will not work for this type of table. So little tweaking is done in api of this table to handle column `name` as input param.

Sample Data:

```{
"fields": {
"name": "email",
"value": 1
},
"model": "thinrest.systemsetting",
"pk": 1
}```

Setting LIST: GET http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/setting?format=json

Setting DETAIL: GET http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/setting/email?format=json

Setting CREATE / UPDATE: POST http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/setting/

Setting DETELE: DELETE http://www.example.com/thinrest/api/v1/employee/setting/email/

## Running Test

```python manage.py test```
