# Settings
|
|
|
|
> Namespaces are one honking great idea - let's do more of those!

|
|
|
|
Configuration for REST framework is all namespaced inside a single Django setting, named `REST_FRAMEWORK`.
|
|
|
|
For example your project's `settings.py` file might include something like this:
|
|
|
|
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
|
|
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
|
|
'rest_framework.renderers.YAMLRenderer',
|
|
),
|
|
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
|
|
'rest_framework.parsers.YAMLParser',
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
## Accessing settings
|
|
|
|
If you need to access the values of REST framework's API settings in your project,
|
|
you should use the `api_settings` object. For example.
|
|
|
|
from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
|
|
|
|
print api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
The `api_settings` object will check for any user-defined settings, and otherwise fall back 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.

# API Reference
|
|
|
|
## API policy settings
|
|
|
|
*The following settings control the basic API policies, and are applied to every `APIView` class based view, or `@api_view` function based view.*
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
A list or tuple of renderer classes, that determines the default set of renderers that may be used when returning a `Response` object.
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
(
|
|
'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
|
|
'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
A list or tuple of parser classes, that determines the default set of parsers used when accessing the `request.DATA` property.
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
(
|
|
'rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser',
|
|
'rest_framework.parsers.FormParser',
|
|
'rest_framework.parsers.MultiPartParser'
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
A list or tuple of authentication classes, that determines the default set of authenticators used when accessing the `request.user` or `request.auth` properties.
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
(
|
|
'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
|
|
'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication'
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
A list or tuple of permission classes, that determines the default set of permissions checked at the start of a view.
|
|
|
|
Default:
|
|
|
|
(
|
|
'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_THROTTLE_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
A list or tuple of throttle classes, that determines the default set of throttles checked at the start of a view.
|
|
|
|
Default: `()`
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_CONTENT_NEGOTIATION_CLASS
|

|
|
|
|
## Generic view settings
|
|
|
|
*The following settings control the behavior of the generic class based views.*
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS
|
|
|
|
A class that determines the default type of model serializer that should be used by a generic view if `model` is specified, but `serializer_class` is not provided.
|
|
|
|
Default: `'rest_framework.serializers.ModelSerializer'`
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_PAGINATION_SERIALIZER_CLASS
|
|
|
|
A class the determines the default serialization style for paginated responses.
|
|
|
|
Default: `rest_framework.pagination.PaginationSerializer`
|
|
|
|
#### DEFAULT_FILTER_BACKENDS
|
|
|
|
A list of filter backend classes that should be used for generic filtering.
|
|
If set to `None` then generic filtering is disabled.
|
|
|
|
#### PAGINATE_BY
|
|
|
|
The default page size to use for pagination. If set to `None`, pagination is disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
Default: `None`
|
|
|
|
#### PAGINATE_BY_PARAM
|
|
|
|
The name of a query parameter, which can be used by the client to override the default page size to use for pagination. If set to `None`, clients may not override the default page size.
|
|
|
|
For example, given the following settings:
|
|
|
|
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
|
|
'PAGINATE_BY': 10,
|
|
'PAGINATE_BY_PARAM': 'page_size',
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
A client would be able to modify the pagination size by using the `page_size` query parameter. For example:
|
|
|
|
GET http://example.com/api/accounts?page_size=25
|
|
|
|
Default: `None`
|
|
|
|
#### MAX_PAGINATE_BY
|
|
|
|
The maximum page size to allow when the page size is specified by the client. If set to `None`, then no maximum limit is applied.
|
|
|
|
For example, given the following settings:
|
|
|
|
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
|
|
'PAGINATE_BY': 10,
|
|
'PAGINATE_BY_PARAM': 'page_size',
|
|
'MAX_PAGINATE_BY': 100
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
A client request like the following would return a paginated list of up to 100 items.
|
|
|
|
GET http://example.com/api/accounts?page_size=999
|
|
|
|
Default: `None`

Default: `'multipart'`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The renderer classes that are supported when building test requests.
|
|
|
|
The format of any of these renderer classes may be used when constructing a test request, for example: `client.post('/users', {'username': 'jamie'}, format='json')`
|
|
|
|

## View names and descriptions
|
|
|
|
**The following settings are used to generate the view names and descriptions, as used in responses to `OPTIONS` requests, and as used in the browsable API.**
|
|
|
|
#### VIEW_NAME_FUNCTION
|
|
|
|
A string representing the function that should be used when generating view names.
|
|
|
|
This should be a function with the following signature:
|
|
|
|
view_name(cls, suffix=None)
|
|
|
|
* `cls`: The view class. Typically the name function would inspect the name of the class when generating a descriptive name, by accessing `cls.__name__`.
|
|
* `suffix`: The optional suffix used when differentiating individual views in a viewset.
|
|
|
|
Default: `'rest_framework.views.get_view_name'`
|
|
|
|
#### VIEW_DESCRIPTION_FUNCTION
|
|
|
|
A string representing the function that should be used when generating view descriptions.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be changed to support markup styles other than the default markdown. For example, you can use it to support `rst` markup in your view docstrings being output in the browsable API.
|
|
|
|
This should be a function with the following signature:
|
|
|
|
view_description(cls, html=False)
|
|
|
|
* `cls`: The view class. Typically the description function would inspect the docstring of the class when generating a description, by accessing `cls.__doc__`
|
|
* `html`: A boolean indicating if HTML output is required. `True` when used in the browsable API, and `False` when used in generating `OPTIONS` responses.
|
|
|
|
Default: `'rest_framework.views.get_view_description'`
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Miscellaneous settings
|
|
|
|
#### EXCEPTION_HANDLER
|
|
|
|
A string representing the function that should be used when returning a response for any given exception. If the function returns `None`, a 500 error will be raised.
|
|
|
|
This setting can be changed to support error responses other than the default `{"detail": "Failure..."}` responses. For example, you can use it to provide API responses like `{"errors": [{"message": "Failure...", "code": ""} ...]}`.
|
|
|
|
This should be a function with the following signature:
|
|
|
|
exception_handler(exc)
|
|
|
|
* `exc`: The exception.
|
|
|
|
Default: `'rest_framework.views.exception_handler'`
|
|
|
|
#### URL_FIELD_NAME
|
|
|
|
A string representing the key that should be used for the URL fields generated by `HyperlinkedModelSerializer`.
|
|
|
|
Default: `'url'`
|
|
|
|
#### FORMAT_SUFFIX_KWARG
