**Awesome web-browsable Web APIs.**
Full documentation for the project is available at [https://www.django-rest-framework.org/][docs].
Django has always lived up to it's tagline, The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.
DRF has been facilitating this even more with it's amazing serializers, viewsets, filters, validators, routers and so on...

### Here are a few grapples with django we're aiming to address
# Funding
REST framework is a *collaboratively funded project*. If you use
REST framework commercially we strongly encourage you to invest in its
continued development by [signing up for a paid plan][funding].
The initial aim is to provide a single full-time position on REST framework.
*Every single sign-up makes a significant impact towards making that possible.*

Many thanks to all our [wonderful sponsors][sponsors], and in particular to our premium backers, [Sentry][sentry-url], [Stream][stream-url], [Spacinov][spacinov-url], [Retool][retool-url], [bit.io][bitio-url], [PostHog][posthog-url], [CryptAPI][cryptapi-url], [FEZTO][fezto-url], and [Svix][svix-url].
- One issue with django is that since it's designed as an all-encompassing web framework, designed before the advent of microservices, it comes with a lot of bloat that's not needed
for api services.
- Alternate frameworks like fastapi exist, which are laser focused on these exact priorities but lack the structure and maturity that a DRF based project has from the get-go.
- Another issue with django is it's tight coupling with app registry and makes things like dynamic table creation non trivial to say the least...
- The settings being lazyloaded makes restarts necessary for any change which makes dynamic configuration only possible outside the core settings.

# Overview
This project aims to retain all functionalities of DRF minus the bloat of django...
Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
Some reasons you might want to use REST framework:
* The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers.
* [Authentication policies][authentication] including optional packages for [OAuth1a][oauth1-section] and [OAuth2][oauth2-section].
* [Serialization][serializers] that supports both [ORM][modelserializer-section] and [non-ORM][serializer-section] data sources.
* Customizable all the way down - just use [regular function-based views][functionview-section] if you don't need the [more][generic-views] [powerful][viewsets] [features][routers].
* [Extensive documentation][docs], and [great community support][group].
There is a live example API for testing purposes, [available here][sandbox].
**Below**: *Screenshot from the browsable API*

# Requirements
* Python 3.6+
* Django 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0
* Python 3.9+
* FastAPI 0.104.1+
We **highly recommend** and only officially support the latest patch release of
each Python and Django series.
# Installation
Install using `pip`...
Clone this repository
pip install djangorestframework
Add `'rest_framework'` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'rest_framework',
]
```bash
python setup.py install
```
# Example
Install using `pip`... **TBD**
Let's take a look at a quick example of using REST framework to build a simple model-backed API for accessing users and groups.
Startup up a new project like so...
pip install django
pip install djangorestframework
django-admin startproject example .
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py createsuperuser
pip install fastapirestframework
Now edit the `example/urls.py` module in your project:
```python
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.urls import include, path
from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets
# Note
### This is a new fork of DRF, and serves more as a promise as of now...
*As and when these functionalities are ready, we'll update this readme*
# Serializers define the API representation.
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['url', 'username', 'email', 'is_staff']
# Contribution
# ViewSets define the view behavior.
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
# Routers provide a way of automatically determining the URL conf.
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)
# Wire up our API using automatic URL routing.
# Additionally, we include login URLs for the browsable API.
urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
path('api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')),
]
```
We'd also like to configure a couple of settings for our API.
Add the following to your `settings.py` module:
```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
... # Make sure to include the default installed apps here.
'rest_framework',
]
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
# Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
# or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly',
]
}
```
That's it, we're done!
./manage.py runserver
You can now open the API in your browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`, and view your new 'users' API. If you use the `Login` control in the top right corner you'll also be able to add, create and delete users from the system.
You can also interact with the API using command line tools such as [`curl`](https://curl.haxx.se/). For example, to list the users endpoint:
$ curl -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -u admin:password http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/
[
{
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/1/",
"username": "admin",
"email": "admin@example.com",
"is_staff": true,
}
]
Or to create a new user:
$ curl -X POST -d username=new -d email=new@example.com -d is_staff=false -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -u admin:password http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/
{
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/2/",
"username": "new",
"email": "new@example.com",
"is_staff": false,
}
