drf-schema-adapter is a set of tools used to make it as straight-forward to declare an API endpoint as it is to declare a new ModelAdmin in Django and export the corresponding definition to frontend frameworks and libraries.

DRF-schema-adapter is compatible with the following matrix

⚠️ For Python 2.7 or Django 1.x support, please use versions 1.x or prior ⚠️ For Django Version 3.1 or prior, use version 2.x

⚠️ For Python 3.11 compatibility, you will have (for now) to install Inflector directly from the repo:

pip install git+https://github.com/ixmatus/inflector@ef5c19dc2aa8df5e6b4c452ff2d9b54ec41a04a8#egg=Inflector

pip install drf-schema-adapter

If you are using python 3.11, you will have to also install Inflector directly from the repo, pending the release of Inflector 3.0.2

pip install git+https://github.com/ixmatus/inflector@ef5c19dc2aa8df5e6b4c452ff2d9b54ec41a04a8#egg=Inflector

Within the source directory:

python setup.py install

You can see a demo application running at https://djembersample.pythonanywhere.com/.

First of all you'll need to import the default EndpointRouter in your urls.py file.

from drf_auto_endpoint.router import router

As well as add its urls to your urlpatterns in urls.py, the same way you would with DRF's DefaultRouter.

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path("api/", include(router.urls)),
    ...
]

The quickest way to get a working endpoint is to register a model with the router. Register accepts an optional keyword argument for the url associated to that endpoint. By default the url for an endpoint willbe app_label/verbose_name_plural

from django.urls import include, path
from drf_auto_endpoint.router import router
from my_app.models import MyModel, OtherModel

router.register(MyModel)
router.register(OtherModel, url='my_custom_url')

urlpatterns = [
    path("api/", include(router.urls)),
]

Django REST framework provides the ability to customize those calls thanks to metadata classes.

Setup DRF to use one of DRF-schema-adapter's metadata classes to get schema information:

## settings.py

...
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_METADATA_CLASS': 'drf_auto_endpoint.metadata.AutoMetadata',
}

First add 'export_app' to your setting's INSTALLED_APPS, then run:

./manage.py export --adapter_name EmberAdapter samples/products

If you'd like to contibute to DRF-schema-adapter*, you are more than welcome to do so. In order to make contributing to this project a rich experience for everyone, please follow these guide-lines:

• First, fork the project with your own GitHub account, build your code on your own repository and submit a pull-request once your contribution is ready.
• Before contributing a bug-fix or new feature, create an issue explaining what the problem/need is first. When submitting your pull-request, make sure to reference the original issue.
• For any code you contribute, make sure to follow PEP8 recommendation (soft line-limit 100, hard limit 120).
• For bug-fixes, please first write a test that will fail with the current code and passes using your patch. For easier evaluation, please do so in 2 separate commits
• For new features, if your feature can be implemented as a third-party app (like new adapters), please don't contribute them to this repo, publish your own application and open an issue telling us about it. We will make sure to add a link to your application in this README.
• Read and respect the Code Of Conduct

• Write better documentation
• Write more/better tests
