Installation
------------
.. code:: bash
pip install -e git+https://github.com/night-crawler/drf-metadata.git@#egg=drf-metadata
Models
------
.. code:: python
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
birth = models.DateField('birth date')
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Publisher(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
state = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(
'publisher state',
choices=(
(0, 'Active'),
(1, 'Disabled')
),
default=1
)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)
publisher = models.ForeignKey(Publisher)
Usage
-----
.. code:: python
from drf_metadata.meta import MetaData, AbstractField, CustomMetadata
class BookMetadata(MetaData):
model = Book
serializers = {
'publisher': PublisherSerializer
}
update_fields = {
'authors': {
'omg': {'lol': 1}
}
}
# skip serialization (don't include model instances to choice field)
dataset_urls = {
'authors': '/author/',
'publisher': '/publisher/',
}
# custom queryset for instance (self has `obj` if you need to filter qs)
def get_authors_queryset(self, field):
return Author.objects.filter(name='author0')
# use custom serializer for field instance(s)
def get_authors_serializer(self, field):
# self.request, self.view, self.obj are available in MetaData instance
return AuthorSerializer
# update field bundle with runtime values
def update_authors_field_meta(field, obj):
return {'new': 1, 'obj': str(obj)}
# use own serializer
def get_publisher_field_meta(field, obj):
return {'new': 1, 'obj': str(obj)}
Usage with django-rest-framework
--------------------------------
.. code:: python
# or redefine OPTIONS handler
class BookViewSet(viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
@list_route()
def describe_book(self, request):
md = metadata.BookMetadata().determine_metadata(request, self)
return Response(md)
