<p>Configuration for REST framework is all namespaced inside a single Django setting, named <code>REST_FRAMEWORK</code>.</p>
2012-09-12 13:14:01 +04:00
<p>For example your project's <code>settings.py</code> file might include something like this:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
2012-10-19 23:00:35 +04:00
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
2012-09-05 16:05:36 +04:00
)
2012-10-19 23:00:35 +04:00
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
2012-09-05 16:05:36 +04:00
)
}
</code></pre>
2012-09-06 19:47:40 +04:00
<h2 id="accessing-settings">Accessing settings</h2>
<p>If you need to access the values of REST framework's API settings in your project,
you should use the <code>api_settings</code> object. For example.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
2012-09-06 19:47:40 +04:00
2012-10-19 23:00:35 +04:00
print api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
2012-09-06 19:47:40 +04:00
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>api_settings</code> object will check for any user-defined settings, and otherwise fallback to the default values. Any setting that uses string import paths to refer to a class will automatically import and return the referenced class, instead of the string literal.</p>
2012-10-19 23:00:35 +04:00
