django-argonauts 1.1.0

JsonResponseMixin

JsonResponseMixin implements render_to_response method that serializes an object into a JSON response. Thus it is compatible with generic Django views:

from django.db import models
from django.views.generic.detail import BaseDetailView
from argonauts.views import JsonResponseMixin

class Blog(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    body = models.TextField()

    def to_json(self):
        return {
            'title': self.title,
            'body': self.body,
        }

class BlogDetailView(JsonResponseMixin, BaseDetailView):
    """
    Detail view returning object serialized in JSON
    """
    model = Blog

JsonRequestMixin

JsonRequestMixin gives access to the request data through data() method.

from django.views.generic.base import View
from argonauts.views import JsonRequestMixin:
from argonauts.http import JsonResponse

class EchoView(JsonRequestMixin, View):
    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return JsonResponse(self.data())

RestView

RestView is an abstract class. Subclasses should implement auth(), for handling authentication, and at least one HTTP method.

RestView implements OPTIONS http method, and inherits from JsonRequestMixin and JsonResponseMixin.

from django.core.exceptions import PermissionDenied
from argonauts.views import RestView
from .utils import get_action

class CrazyRestView(RestView):
    def auth(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if not self.request.user.is_superuser:
            raise PermissionDenied

    def post(self, *args, **kwargs):
        action = kwargs.pop('action')
        action_func = get_action(action)
        return self.render_to_response(action_func(self.data()))
