Django JSON API view about djantic HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Jordan,

Looks like you working on a feature that I currently researching for a project django-ninja

https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja

Specifically for now I'm just trying to develop usable/nice API for conecting Pydantic model and Django model

https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/proposals/models/

I like your concept...
but I see particcular problem in adding too much methods to model namespace like:

user_schema = UserSchema.from_django(user)

user_schema = UserSchema.get(id=user.id)

UserSchema.create(...)

What I think the best is having some single attribute to access ORM:

UserSchema.objects --> will map to User.objects

so now you should be able to do

UserSchema.objects.get(...

UserSchema.objects.filter(...).first()

from djantic.

@vitalik I prefer that approach (single attribute access) and used it initially, but there is a difficult problem of chaining additional filter methods and accomodating custom manager methods so I opted to instead provide only basic queryset access with the intention that more complex queries would be performed using just Django ORM first then loaded into the model. I haven’t had a lot of time to look at this lately, but that is something I’ll probably revisit when I look into this next.

I think for now I'll leave it up to users to integrate the models with their endpoint views.
