Django REST API Tutorial - Guide to Viewsets, Routers and Serializers #2 (2018)

In this django rest api tutorial series I will teach you about REST API design and show you how to implement one using the django rest framework.
7 Tips For Getting Better At Django:
mailchi.mp/dea592ab3f6d/tips-...
Get the starting point on GitHub:
github.com/TheDumbfounds/djan...
Working from the big picture into the details, in this part you will first build a very simple REST API that works, and afterwards explore what the components we used to build it, namely viewsets, routers and serializers really are and why they are used in just 11 minutes!
The next part will be focused on exploring authentication and permissions, which you can use to secure your REST API. More specifically, you will learn about token authentication, but also get an introduction into other forms, such as session authentication.
Anyway, you can find the details in the video and feel free to ask if you have any questions!
If you enjoyed this video, make sure to subscribe and share it with anyone you think could enjoy it as well.
I hope to see you inside of the next episode,
Cheers.

`HyperlinkedIdentityField` requires the request in the serializer context. Add `context={'request': request}` when instantiating the serializer.

[@benjcarlsamson9738]

kudos to you sir!

[@emilianomatarazzo4712]

What about triggering DESTROY view? If I send a POST request it trigger CREATE not DESTROY.

[@Thesrik23]

Awesome man

[@urebhasan3061]

Thanks for this tutorial! I am facing one issue, my migrations dont create a Snippets. Any reason why that is happening?

[@thedumbfounds767]

The migrations create the database columns, not the snippets themselves.

[@urebhasan3061]

@@thedumbfounds767 I meant migrations do not create a snippets table

[@urebhasan3061]

@@thedumbfounds767 I figured something which i'll try out

[@JesusGil90]

The Router.register base_name argument has been renamed in favor of basename . Usar basename en el registro del router

[@jamesjassi37]

yes i found it

[@jamesjassi37]

instead of base_name, basename is working for me.

I've tried so many times to work with django rest api and I stlil can't get it to work. This tutorial got me the farthest but I get the error "unable to import snippets.models" and if I add the full path it says the top level directory doesnt exist....I'm so frustrated with trying to get this to work ....someone please help

[@thedumbfounds767]

Share your file in a reply. It should say from snippets.models import...

[@amruthap6334]

.models i guess this will work if you are in the same directory

[@turbokev3772]

Well it works with ModelSerializer I guess but not HyperlinkedModelSerializer. You forgot to mention that.

[@birarakisarap]

django 2.0.5?

[@akashkandpal1832]

Hi Sir, if possible could you create a slack channel or discord one or even telegram for your You-Tube channel so that we can have a community for django development. We can discuss and tackle problems this way more profoundly. Or if you recommend some active community for django developers, please inform me too. Thanks.

[@thedumbfounds767]

Let's for now use the youtube comments ;) On reddit I know about /r/django and /r/djangolearning.

[@akashkandpal1832]

@@thedumbfounds767 i am already in those communities. Comments on You-Tube are tough to scroll and reply. So was thinking of some other platform if possible. You can mention the link to the channel under your You-Tube videos :) BTW decision is upto you. Thanks for these wonderful videos.

Copy and paste from REST API documentation.

[@turbokev3772]

I'm done watching your videos they always start out so great then the same always happens. I get stuck with code that would be wonderful if it actually worked, but it doesn't. localhost/api/snippet/newest ERROR!!!!!!! `HyperlinkedIdentityField` requires the request in the serializer context. Add `context={'request': request}` when instantiating the serializer. Went over the video a hundred times and can't figure out how to include the 'request' when instantiating the serialize. And the docs are way out of this context when explaining the error. I was so pleased with this video and felt I struck a gold mine till I got to that bit at the end, learning to migrate from php backends to python and Django . Care to provide the missing code?
