Django REST Framework

Introduction

Django REST Framework (DRF) is a powerful toolkit for building Web APIs. It provides serializers, viewsets, authentication, and a browsable API out of the box.

Getting started

# Install: pip install djangorestframework

# serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Post

class PostSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = ['id', 'title', 'body', 'author', 'created_at']

# views.py
from rest_framework import viewsets
from .models import Post
from .serializers import PostSerializer

class PostViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Post.objects.all()
    serializer_class = PostSerializer

# urls.py
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('posts', PostViewSet)

urlpatterns = router.urls
