Welcome to Django Handlers documentation!¶
This library makes it possible to have many views associated with one URL (separate view for each HTTP method). It can be used for creation of REST APIs or just for simplification of views in a Django application.
So, instead of writing this:
# views.py
def records_view(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
records = Record.objects.all()
return JsonResponse({
'records': [record.data for record in records]
})
if request.method == 'POST':
form = RecordForm(json.loads(request.body))
if form.is_valid():
record = form.save()
return JsonResponse(record.data)
else:
return JsonResponse(form.errors, status=422)
return HttpResponseNotAllowed(['GET', 'POST'])
# urls.py
from .views import records_view
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^records/$', records_view),
]
you can write this:
# views.py
from django_handlers import Handler
handler = Handler()
@handler.get('records')
def view_records(request):
records = Record.objects.all()
return JsonResponse({
'records': [record.data for record in records]
})
@handler.post('records')
def add_record(request):
form = RecordForm(json.loads(request.body))
if form.is_valid():
record = form.save()
return JsonResponse(record.data)
return JsonResponse(form.errors, status=422)
# urls.py
from .views import handler
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^records/$', handler.records),
]
