Installation and usage

For a detailed guide read scaffold django apis like a champion, this library assumes that you have Django Rest Framework. if not, please refer to this guide.

Install dr_scaffold package :

$ pip install dr-scaffold

Add dr_scaffold to your INSTALLED_APPS like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'dr_scaffold'
]

Add CORE_FOLDER and API_FOLDER to your settings.py (optional):

CORE_FOLDER = "core_dir/"
API_FOLDER = "api_dir/"

Run your scaffolds like this:

$ python manage.py dr_scaffold blog Post body:textfield author:foreignkey:Author

Generate tests

We support generating tests for your models and apis, you can generate tests by adding --tests to your command like follow:

$ python manage.py dr_scaffold blog Author name:charfield --tests

This will generate factories for your models and their tests (ViewSets tests will be added soon), we depend on pytest and factory_boy so you should have them installed in order to run your tests.

Also bare in mind that you should run your migrations before running the tests

Generate ViewSet Mixins

We support two types of ViewSets, we support ModelViewSet and we support ViewSets with Mixins.

• ModelViewSets are the default that get generated with the dr_scaffold command
• To generate a view with Mixins pass a value of what mixins you want to include like --mixins CRUD this will result in a view with the Create, List, Retrieve, Update, Destroy actions.

Let's generate an API that does only support the Create and Read methods (Read is both list and retrieve):

$ python manage.py dr_scaffold blog Author name:charfield --mixins CR

The command will generate an Author API with a ViewSet like the following:

class AuthorViewSet(
    mixins.CreateModelMixin,
    mixins.ListModelMixin,
    mixins.RetrieveModelMixin,
    viewsets.GenericViewSet
):
    queryset = Author.objects.all()
    serializer_class = AuthorSerializer
    #permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticated,)

    def get_queryset(self):
        #user = self.request.user
        queryset = Author.objects.all()
        #insert specific queryset logic here
        return queryset

    def get_object(self):
        #insert specific get_object logic here
        return super().get_object()

    def create(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        serializer = AuthorSerializer(data=request.data)
        serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
        serializer.save()
        return Response(serializer.data)

    def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        queryset = self.get_queryset()
        serializer = AuthorSerializer(queryset, many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)

    def retrieve(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        instance = self.get_object()
        serializer = AuthorSerializer(instance=instance)
        return Response(serializer.data)
