<p>Namespaces are one honking great idea - let's do more of those!</p>
<p>&mdash; <a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/">The Zen of Python</a></p>
</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>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>REST_FRAMEWORK = {
&#39;DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES&#39;: [
&#39;rest_framework.renderers.JSONRenderer&#39;,
],
&#39;DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES&#39;: [
&#39;rest_framework.parsers.JSONParser&#39;,
]
}
</code></pre></div>
<h2 id="accessing-settings">Accessing settings<a class="headerlink" href="#accessing-settings" title="Permanent link">&para;</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>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>from rest_framework.settings import api_settings
print(api_settings.DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES)
</code></pre></div>
<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>
<hr />

<p>If set, this maps the <code>'pk'</code> identifier in the URL conf onto the actual field
name when generating a schema path parameter. Typically this will be <code>'id'</code>.

<h4 id="unicode_json">UNICODE_JSON<a class="headerlink" href="#unicode_json" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>When set to <code>True</code>, JSON responses will allow unicode characters in responses. For example:</p>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>{&quot;unicode black star&quot;:&quot;★&quot;}
</code></pre></div>
<p>When set to <code>False</code>, JSON responses will escape non-ascii characters, like so:</p>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>{&quot;unicode black star&quot;:&quot;\u2605&quot;}
</code></pre></div>
<p>Both styles conform to <a href="https://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>
<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>
<h4 id="compact_json">COMPACT_JSON<a class="headerlink" href="#compact_json" title="Permanent link">&para;</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>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>{&quot;is_admin&quot;:false,&quot;email&quot;:&quot;jane@example&quot;}
</code></pre></div>
<p>When set to <code>False</code>, JSON responses will return slightly more verbose representations, like so:</p>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>{&quot;is_admin&quot;: false, &quot;email&quot;: &quot;jane@example&quot;}
</code></pre></div>
<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="strict_json">STRICT_JSON<a class="headerlink" href="#strict_json" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>When set to <code>True</code>, JSON rendering and parsing will only observe syntactically valid JSON, raising an exception for the extended float values (<code>nan</code>, <code>inf</code>, <code>-inf</code>) accepted by Python's <code>json</code> module. This is the recommended setting, as these values are not generally supported. e.g., neither Javascript's <code>JSON.Parse</code> nor PostgreSQL's JSON data type accept these values.</p>
<p>When set to <code>False</code>, JSON rendering and parsing will be permissive. However, these values are still invalid and will need to be specially handled in your code.</p>
<p>Default: <code>True</code></p>
<h4 id="coerce_decimal_to_string">COERCE_DECIMAL_TO_STRING<a class="headerlink" href="#coerce_decimal_to_string" title="Permanent link">&para;</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="coerce_bigint_to_string">COERCE_BIGINT_TO_STRING<a class="headerlink" href="#coerce_bigint_to_string" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>When returning biginteger objects in API representations that do not support numbers up to 2^64, it is best to return the value as a string. This avoids the loss of precision that occurs with biginteger implementations.</p>
<p>When set to <code>True</code>, the serializer <code>BigIntegerField</code> class (by default) will return strings instead of <code>BigInteger</code> objects. When set to <code>False</code>, serializers will return <code>BigInteger</code> objects, which the default JSON encoder will return as numbers.</p>
<p>Default: <code>False</code></p>

<h2 id="view-names-and-descriptions">View names and descriptions<a class="headerlink" href="#view-names-and-descriptions" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p><strong>The following settings are used to generate the view names and descriptions, as used in responses to <code>OPTIONS</code> requests, and as used in the browsable API.</strong></p>
<h4 id="view_name_function">VIEW_NAME_FUNCTION<a class="headerlink" href="#view_name_function" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>A string representing the function that should be used when generating view names.</p>
<p>This should be a function with the following signature:</p>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>view_name(self)
</code></pre></div>
<ul>
<li><code>self</code>: The view instance. Typically the name function would inspect the name of the class when generating a descriptive name, by accessing <code>self.__class__.__name__</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>If the view instance inherits <code>ViewSet</code>, it may have been initialized with several optional arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>name</code>: A name explicitly provided to a view in the viewset. Typically, this value should be used as-is when provided.</li>
<li><code>suffix</code>: Text used when differentiating individual views in a viewset. This argument is mutually exclusive to <code>name</code>.</li>
<li><code>detail</code>: Boolean that differentiates an individual view in a viewset as either being a 'list' or 'detail' view.</li>
</ul>
<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.views.get_view_name'</code></p>
<h4 id="view_description_function">VIEW_DESCRIPTION_FUNCTION<a class="headerlink" href="#view_description_function" title="Permanent link">&para;</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>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>view_description(self, html=False)
</code></pre></div>
<ul>
<li><code>self</code>: The view instance. Typically the description function would inspect the docstring of the class when generating a description, by accessing <code>self.__class__.__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>
</ul>
<p>If the view instance inherits <code>ViewSet</code>, it may have been initialized with several optional arguments:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>description</code>: A description explicitly provided to the view in the viewset. Typically, this is set by extra viewset <code>action</code>s, and should be used as-is.</li>
</ul>
<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.views.get_view_description'</code></p>
<h2 id="html-select-field-cutoffs">HTML Select Field cutoffs<a class="headerlink" href="#html-select-field-cutoffs" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Global settings for <a href="../relations/#select-field-cutoffs">select field cutoffs for rendering relational fields</a> in the browsable API.</p>
<h4 id="html_select_cutoff">HTML_SELECT_CUTOFF<a class="headerlink" href="#html_select_cutoff" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>Global setting for the <code>html_cutoff</code> value. Must be an integer.</p>
<p>Default: 1000</p>
<h4 id="html_select_cutoff_text">HTML_SELECT_CUTOFF_TEXT<a class="headerlink" href="#html_select_cutoff_text" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h4>
<p>A string representing a global setting for <code>html_cutoff_text</code>.</p>
<p>Default: <code>"More than {count} items..."</code></p>
<hr />
<h2 id="miscellaneous-settings">Miscellaneous settings<a class="headerlink" href="#miscellaneous-settings" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<h4 id="exception_handler">EXCEPTION_HANDLER<a class="headerlink" href="#exception_handler" title="Permanent link">&para;</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>
<div class="language-text highlight"><pre><span></span><code>exception_handler(exc, context)
</code></pre></div>
<ul>
<li><code>exc</code>: The exception.</li>
</ul>
<p>Default: <code>'rest_framework.views.exception_handler'</code></p>
<h4 id="non_field_errors_key">NON_FIELD_ERRORS_KEY<a class="headerlink" href="#non_field_errors_key" title="Permanent link">&para;</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">URL_FIELD_NAME<a class="headerlink" href="#url_field_name" title="Permanent link">&para;</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">NUM_PROXIES<a class="headerlink" href="#num_proxies" title="Permanent link">&para;</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>
<p>Default: <code>None</code></p>
