</blockquote>
|
|
<p>Configuration for REST framework is all namespaced inside a single Django setting, named <code>REST_FRAMEWORK</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>For example your project's <code>settings.py</code> file might include something like this:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
|
|
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
|
|
'rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer',
|
|
),
|
|
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
|
|
'rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser',
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="accessing-settings"><a class="toclink" href="#accessing-settings">Accessing settings</a></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><code>from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
|
|
|
|
print api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The <code>api_settings</code> 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.</p>
|

<p>Default:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>(

<p>The pagination API does not use serializers to determine the output format, and

pagination class in order to specify how the output format is controlled.</p>

<p>A format string that should be used by default for rendering the output of <code>DateTimeField</code> serializer fields.

<h2 id="encodings"><a class="toclink" href="#encodings">Encodings</a></h2>
|
|
<h4 id="unicode_json"><a class="toclink" href="#unicode_json">UNICODE_JSON</a></h4>
|
|
<p>When set to <code>True</code>, JSON responses will allow unicode characters in responses. For example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>{"unicode black star":"★"}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>When set to <code>False</code>, JSON responses will escape non-ascii characters, like so:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>{"unicode black star":"\u2605"}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Both styles conform to <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt">RFC 4627</a>, and are syntactically valid JSON. The unicode style is preferred as being more user-friendly when inspecting API responses.</p>

<h4 id="compact_json"><a class="toclink" href="#compact_json">COMPACT_JSON</a></h4>
|
|
<p>When set to <code>True</code>, JSON responses will return compact representations, with no spacing after <code>':'</code> and <code>','</code> characters. For example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>{"is_admin":false,"email":"jane@example"}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>When set to <code>False</code>, JSON responses will return slightly more verbose representations, like so:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>{"is_admin": false, "email": "jane@example"}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The default style is to return minified responses, in line with <a href="https://github.com/interagent/http-api-design#keep-json-minified-in-all-responses">Heroku's API design guidelines</a>.</p>
|

<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>

|
<h4 id="coerce_decimal_to_string"><a class="toclink" href="#coerce_decimal_to_string">COERCE_DECIMAL_TO_STRING</a></h4>
|
|
<p>When returning decimal objects in API representations that do not support a native decimal type, it is normally best to return the value as a string. This avoids the loss of precision that occurs with binary floating point implementations.</p>
|
|
<p>When set to <code>True</code>, the serializer <code>DecimalField</code> class will return strings instead of <code>Decimal</code> objects. When set to <code>False</code>, serializers will return <code>Decimal</code> objects, which the default JSON encoder will return as floats.</p>
|
|
<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>

<h4 id="view_name_function"><a class="toclink" href="#view_name_function">VIEW_NAME_FUNCTION</a></h4>
|

<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>view_name(cls, suffix=None)
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>cls</code>: The view class. Typically the name function would inspect the name of the class when generating a descriptive name, by accessing <code>cls.__name__</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>suffix</code>: The optional suffix used when differentiating individual views in a viewset.</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h4 id="view_description_function"><a class="toclink" href="#view_description_function">VIEW_DESCRIPTION_FUNCTION</a></h4>
|
|
<p>A string representing the function that should be used when generating view descriptions.</p>

<p>This setting can be changed to support markup styles other than the default markdown. For example, you can use it to support <code>rst</code> markup in your view docstrings being output in the browsable API.</p>
|

<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>view_description(cls, html=False)

<li><code>cls</code>: The view class. Typically the description function would inspect the docstring of the class when generating a description, by accessing <code>cls.__doc__</code></li>

<li><code>html</code>: A boolean indicating if HTML output is required. <code>True</code> when used in the browsable API, and <code>False</code> when used in generating <code>OPTIONS</code> responses.</li>

<h4 id="exception_handler"><a class="toclink" href="#exception_handler">EXCEPTION_HANDLER</a></h4>
|
|
<p>A string representing the function that should be used when returning a response for any given exception. If the function returns <code>None</code>, a 500 error will be raised.</p>
|
|
<p>This setting can be changed to support error responses other than the default <code>{"detail": "Failure..."}</code> responses. For example, you can use it to provide API responses like <code>{"errors": [{"message": "Failure...", "code": ""} ...]}</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>exception_handler(exc, context)

<li><code>exc</code>: The exception.</li>

<h4 id="non_field_errors_key"><a class="toclink" href="#non_field_errors_key">NON_FIELD_ERRORS_KEY</a></h4>
|
|
<p>A string representing the key that should be used for serializer errors that do not refer to a specific field, but are instead general errors.</p>
|
|
<p>Default: <code>'non_field_errors'</code></p>
|
|
<h4 id="url_field_name"><a class="toclink" href="#url_field_name">URL_FIELD_NAME</a></h4>
|
|
<p>A string representing the key that should be used for the URL fields generated by <code>HyperlinkedModelSerializer</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Default: <code>'url'</code></p>
|
|
<h4 id="num_proxies"><a class="toclink" href="#num_proxies">NUM_PROXIES</a></h4>
|
|
<p>An integer of 0 or more, that may be used to specify the number of application proxies that the API runs behind. This allows throttling to more accurately identify client IP addresses. If set to <code>None</code> then less strict IP matching will be used by the throttle classes.</p>
