I want to add to my Django project (using Django rest framework ) new get function. I want it to just send to me in Json "Hello world" without writing or without opening a table in the DB this is my code:
@api_view()
def about(request):
return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
i put it in view.py what more i should do the make it work? when i run the server and write this lines
http://127.0.0.1:8000/about
i want it to saw me "{"message": "Hello, world!"}"
Update your 'urls.py':
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^about/$', views.about),
...
I think you should register url path to urls.py first. And then update settings.py.
Here are some instructions for you about Django rest framework quickstart. http://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/
To send parameters you can added them in the URL and ask for request.GET inside your function, even you can make a POST and ask for request.data inside your function.
your url: /about/?start_date=2016/08/20&end_date=2016/08/21
def about(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
""""
Is called by a GET method.
ISO format: YYYY/MM/DD and in UTC.
"""
start_date_str = request.GET.get("start_date")
end_date_str = request.GET.get("end_date")
return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
Another way:
Your url: /about/100/
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^about/(?P<object_pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.example),
...
def example(self, request, object_pk, *args, **kwargs):
""""
Is called by a GET method.
"""
# do something with your object
return Response({"message": "Hello, world!"})
