django-lazydrf

django-lazydrf is a dirty magic applied to your models to generate automated Django Rest Framework endpoints.

Note that this is an experimental project. Use at your own risk and sadness.

TODO: Provide a complete README

Installation

pip install django-lazydrf

Usage

1. Define a Django model as follows:

   from django.db import models
   from django.db.models import CharField
   
   from lazydrf.models import LDRF
   
   
   class Record(models.Model, metaclass=LDRF):
       """
       Defines a key/value record model.
       """
   
       #: Defines the key of the record.
       key = CharField(max_length=16, unique=True, blank=False, null=False)
   
       #: Defines the value of the record.
       value = CharField(max_length=64, blank=False, null=False, db_index=True)
   
       class Meta:
           """
           Defines Django model metadata.
           """
           app_label = "sample"
   
       class APIFields:
           """
           Defines fields related API metadata.
           """
           editable = ["key", "value"]
           ordering = ["key"]
           searching = ["key", "^value"]
   
       class APIFiltering:
           """
           Defines filtering related API metadata.
           """
           key = ["exact", "icontains", "startswith"]
           value = ["exact", "icontains", "startswith"]
   
       class APIViewset:
           pass
           #readonly = True
   

2. Register all lazydrf models for a given Django application to the usual DRF router, like:

   from django.conf.urls import url, include
   from django.contrib import admin
   from rest_framework import routers
   
   from lazydrf.utils import register_app
   
   
   #: Defines the DRF router.
   Router = routers.DefaultRouter()
   
   ## Register model endpoints for the sample Django application:
   register_app("sample", Router)
   
   #: Defines URL patterns:
   urlpatterns = [
       url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
       url(r"^", include(Router.urls)),
   ]
