========
2+
restless
3+
========
4+
5+
A lightweight REST miniframework for Python.
6+
7+
Works great with Django & Flask, but should be useful for many other Python web
8+
frameworks. Based on the lessons learned from Tastypie_ & other REST libraries.
9+
10+
.. _Tastypie: http://tastypieapi.org/
11+
12+
13+
Features
14+
========
15+
16+
* Small, fast codebase
17+
* JSON output by default, but overridable
18+
* RESTful
19+
* Python 3.3+ (with shims to make broke-ass Python 2.6+ work)
20+
* Flexible
21+
* Pagination
22+
23+
24+
Anti-Features
25+
=============
26+
27+
(Things that will never be added...)
28+
29+
* Automatic ORM integration
30+
* Authorization (per-object or not)
31+
* Extensive filtering options
32+
* XML output (though you can implement your own)
33+
* Metaclasses
34+
* Mixins
35+
* HATEOAS
36+
37+
38+
Why?
39+
====
40+
41+
Quite simply, I care about creating flexible & RESTFul APIs. In building
42+
Tastypie, I tried to create something extremely complete & comprehensive.
43+
The result was writing a lot of hook methods (for easy extensibility) & a lot
44+
of (perceived) bloat, as I tried to accommodate for everything people might
45+
want/need in a flexible/overridable manner.
46+
47+
But in reality, all I really ever personally want are the RESTful verbs, JSON
48+
serialization & the ability of override behavior.
49+
50+
This one is written for me.
51+
52+
53+
Manifesto
54+
=========
55+
56+
Rather than try to build something that automatically does the typically
57+
correct thing within each of the views, it's up to you to implement the bodies
58+
of various HTTP methods.
59+
60+
Example code::
61+
62+
# posts/api.py
63+
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
64+
65+
from restless import Resource, paginated
66+
67+
from posts.models import Post
68+
69+
70+
class PostResource(Resource):
71+
# Controls what data is included in the serialized output.
72+
fields = {
73+
'id': 'id',
74+
'title': 'title',
75+
'author': 'user.username',
76+
'body': 'content',
77+
'posted_on': 'posted_on',
78+
}
79+
80+
# GET /
81+
def list(self):
82+
return Post.objects.all()
83+
84+
# GET /pk/
85+
def detail(self, pk):
86+
return Post.objects.get(id=pk)
87+
88+
# POST /
89+
def create(self, data):
90+
author = User.objects.get(username=data['author'])
91+
92+
return Post.objects.create(
93+
title=self.data['title'],
94+
user=self.author,
95+
content=self.data['body']
96+
)
97+
98+
# PUT /pk/
99+
def update(self, pk):
100+
author = User.objects.get(username=self.data['author'])
101+
102+
try:
103+
post = Post.objects.get(id=pk)
104+
except Post.DoesNotExist:
105+
post = Post()
106+
107+
post.title = self.data['title']
108+
post.user = author
109+
post.content = self.data['body']
110+
post.save()
111+
return post
112+
113+
# DELETE /pk/
114+
def delete(self, pk):
115+
Post.objects.get(id=pk).delete()
116+
117+
Hooking it up::
118+
119+
# api/urls.py
120+
from django.conf.urls.default import url, patterns
121+
122+
from posts.api import PostResource
123+
124+
urlpatterns = patterns('',
125+
# The usual suspects, then...
126+
127+
url(r'^posts/$', PostResource.as_list(), name='api_posts_list'),
128+
url(r'^posts/(?P<pk>\d+)$', PostResource.as_detail(), name='api_posts_detail'),
129+
)

140+
141+
For v1.0.0, the following things need completing:
142+
143+
* Finish the tests
144+
* Test in another live Django environment
145+
* Test in a Flask environment
146+
* Docstrings everywhere
147+
* Tutorial documentation
148+
* Extension documentation
149+
