Getting Started - Resources
 | 
						|
---------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. note::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    A live sandbox instance of this API is available:
 | 
						|
    
 | 
						|
    http://api.django-rest-framework.org/resource-example/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    You can browse the API using a web browser, or from the command line::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        curl -X GET http://api.django-rest-framework.org/resource-example/ -H 'Accept: text/plain'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We're going to start off with a simple example, that demonstrates a few things:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#. Creating resources.
 | 
						|
#. Linking resources.
 | 
						|
#. Writing method handlers on resources.
 | 
						|
#. Adding form validation to resources.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First we'll define two resources in our urlconf.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``urls.py``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. include:: ../../examples/resourceexample/urls.py
 | 
						|
    :literal:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now we'll add a form that we'll use for input validation.  This is completely optional, but it's often useful.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``forms.py``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. include:: ../../examples/resourceexample/forms.py
 | 
						|
    :literal:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now we'll write our resources.  The first is a read only resource that links to three instances of the second.  The second resource just has some stub handler methods to help us see that our example is working.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``views.py``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. include:: ../../examples/resourceexample/views.py
 | 
						|
    :literal:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
That's us done.  Our API now provides both programmatic access using JSON and XML, as well a nice browseable HTML view, so we can now access it both from the browser:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* http://api.django-rest-framework.org/resource-example/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And from the command line:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # Demonstrates API's input validation using form input
 | 
						|
    bash: curl -X POST --data 'foo=true' http://api.django-rest-framework.org/resource-example/1/
 | 
						|
    {"detail": {"bar": ["This field is required."], "baz": ["This field is required."]}}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    #  Demonstrates API's input validation using JSON input
 | 
						|
    bash: curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"foo":true}' http://api.django-rest-framework.org/resource-example/1/
 | 
						|
   {"detail": {"bar": ["This field is required."], "baz": ["This field is required."]}}
