views

The views module provides the Views you will most probably be subclassing in your implementation.

By setting or modifying class attributes on your view, you change it’s predefined behaviour.

class views.View(**kwargs)

Handles incoming requests and maps them to REST operations. Performs request deserialization, response serialization, authentication and input validation.

resource = None

List of renderers the resource can serialize the response with, ordered by preference.

renderers = (<class 'djangorestframework.renderers.JSONRenderer'>, <class 'djangorestframework.renderers.DocumentingHTMLRenderer'>, <class 'djangorestframework.renderers.DocumentingXHTMLRenderer'>, <class 'djangorestframework.renderers.DocumentingPlainTextRenderer'>, <class 'djangorestframework.renderers.XMLRenderer'>)

List of parsers the resource can parse the request with.

parsers = (<class 'djangorestframework.parsers.JSONParser'>, <class 'djangorestframework.parsers.FormParser'>, <class 'djangorestframework.parsers.MultiPartParser'>, <class 'djangorestframework.parsers.XMLParser'>)

List of all authenticating methods to attempt.

authentication = (<class 'djangorestframework.authentication.UserLoggedInAuthentication'>, <class 'djangorestframework.authentication.BasicAuthentication'>)

List of all permissions that must be checked.

classmethod as_view(**initkwargs)

Override the default as_view() to store an instance of the view as an attribute on the callable function. This allows us to discover information about the view when we do URL reverse lookups.

allowed_methods

Return the list of allowed HTTP methods, uppercased.

http_method_not_allowed(request, *args, **kwargs)

Return an HTTP 405 error if an operation is called which does not have a handler method.

initial(request, *args, **kargs)

Hook for any code that needs to run prior to anything else. Required if you want to do things like set request.upload_handlers before the authentication and dispatch handling is run.

add_header(field, value)

Add field and value to the headers attribute of the View class.

class views.ModelView(**kwargs)

A RESTful view that maps to a model in the database.

resource

alias of ModelResource

class views.InstanceModelView(**kwargs)

A view which provides default operations for read/update/delete against a model instance.

class views.ListModelView(**kwargs)

A view which provides default operations for list, against a model in the database.

class views.ListOrCreateModelView(**kwargs)

A view which provides default operations for list and create, against a model in the database.
