|
|
<p>REST framework provides an <code>APIView</code> class, which subclasses Django's <code>View</code> class.</p>
|
|
<p><code>APIView</code> classes are different from regular <code>View</code> classes in the following ways:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Requests passed to the handler methods will be REST framework's <code>Request</code> instances, not Django's <code>HttpRequest</code> instances.</li>
|
|
<li>Handler methods may return REST framework's <code>Response</code>, instead of Django's <code>HttpResponse</code>. The view will manage content negotiation and setting the correct renderer on the response.</li>
|
|
<li>Any <code>APIException</code> exceptions will be caught and mediated into appropriate responses.</li>
|
|
<li>Incoming requests will be authenticated and appropriate permission and/or throttle checks will be run before dispatching the request to the handler method.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Using the <code>APIView</code> class is pretty much the same as using a regular <code>View</code> class, as usual, the incoming request is dispatched to an appropriate handler method such as <code>.get()</code> or <code>.post()</code>. Additionally, a number of attributes may be set on the class that control various aspects of the API policy.</p>
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>from rest_framework.views import APIView
|
|
from rest_framework.response import Response
|
|
from rest_framework import authentication, permissions
|
|
|
|
class ListUsers(APIView):
|
|
"""
|
|
View to list all users in the system.
|
|
|
|
* Requires token authentication.
|
|
* Only admin users are able to access this view.
|
|
"""
|
|
authentication_classes = (authentication.TokenAuthentication,)
|
|
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
|
|
|
|
def get(self, request, format=None):
|
|
"""
|
|
Return a list of all users.
|
|
"""
|
|
usernames = [user.username for user in User.objects.all()]
|
|
return Response(usernames)
|
|

|
|
<h2 id="dispatch-methods">Dispatch methods</h2>
|
|
<p>The following methods are called directly by the view's <code>.dispatch()</code> method.
|
|
These perform any actions that need to occur before or after calling the handler methods such as <code>.get()</code>, <code>.post()</code>, <code>put()</code>, <code>patch()</code> and <code>.delete()</code>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="initialself-request-42args-kwargs">.initial(self, request, *args, **kwargs)</h3>
|
|
<p>Performs any actions that need to occur before the handler method gets called.
|
|
This method is used to enforce permissions and throttling, and perform content negotiation.</p>
|
|
<p>You won't typically need to override this method.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="handle_exceptionself-exc">.handle_exception(self, exc)</h3>
|
|
<p>Any exception thrown by the handler method will be passed to this method, which either returns a <code>Response</code> instance, or re-raises the exception.</p>
|
|
<p>The default implementation handles any subclass of <code>rest_framework.exceptions.APIException</code>, as well as Django's <code>Http404</code> and <code>PermissionDenied</code> exceptions, and returns an appropriate error response.</p>
|
|
<p>If you need to customize the error responses your API returns you should subclass this method.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="initialize_requestself-request-42args-kwargs">.initialize_request(self, request, *args, **kwargs)</h3>
|
|
<p>Ensures that the request object that is passed to the handler method is an instance of <code>Request</code>, rather than the usual Django <code>HttpRequest</code>.</p>

|
<p>You won't typically need to override this method.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="finalize_responseself-request-response-42args-kwargs">.finalize_response(self, request, response, *args, **kwargs)</h3>
|
|
<p>Ensures that any <code>Response</code> object returned from the handler method will be rendered into the correct content type, as determined by the content negotiation.</p>

|
<p>You won't typically need to override this method.</p>

<p>REST framework also allows you to work with regular function based views. It provides a set of simple decorators that wrap your function based views to ensure they receive an instance of <code>Request</code> (rather than the usual Django <code>HttpRequest</code>) and allows them to return a <code>Response</code> (instead of a Django <code>HttpResponse</code>), and allow you to configure how the request is processed.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="api_view">@api_view()</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>Signature:</strong> <code>@api_view(http_method_names=['GET'])</code></p>
|
|
<p>The core of this functionality is the <code>api_view</code> decorator, which takes a list of HTTP methods that your view should respond to. For example, this is how you would write a very simple view that just manually returns some data:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
|
|
|
|
@api_view()
|
|
def hello_world(request):
|
|
return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
|

</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This view will use the default renderers, parsers, authentication classes etc specified in the <a href="../settings">settings</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>By default only <code>GET</code> methods will be accepted. Other methods will respond with "405 Method Not Allowed". To alter this behavior, specify which methods the view allows, like so:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
|
|
def hello_world(request):
|
|
if request.method == 'POST':
|
|
return Response({"message": "Got some data!", "data": request.data})
|
|
return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="api-policy-decorators">API policy decorators</h2>
|
|
<p>To override the default settings, REST framework provides a set of additional decorators which can be added to your views. These must come <em>after</em> (below) the <code>@api_view</code> decorator. For example, to create a view that uses a <a href="../throttling">throttle</a> to ensure it can only be called once per day by a particular user, use the <code>@throttle_classes</code> decorator, passing a list of throttle classes:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>from rest_framework.decorators import api_view, throttle_classes
|
|
from rest_framework.throttling import UserRateThrottle
|
|
|
|
class OncePerDayUserThrottle(UserRateThrottle):
|
|
rate = '1/day'
|
|
|
|
@api_view(['GET'])
|
|
@throttle_classes([OncePerDayUserThrottle])
|
|
def view(request):
|
|
return Response({"message": "Hello for today! See you tomorrow!"})
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>These decorators correspond to the attributes set on <code>APIView</code> subclasses, described above.</p>
|
|
<p>The available decorators are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>@renderer_classes(...)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>@parser_classes(...)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>@authentication_classes(...)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>@throttle_classes(...)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>@permission_classes(...)</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Each of these decorators takes a single argument which must be a list or tuple of classes.</p>
