Tools
=====
Here are some tools that might help in interacting with the API that Tastypie
provides:
Browser
=======
JSONView
--------
* Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jsonview/
* Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc
A plugin (actually two different ones that closely mirror each other) that
nicely reformats JSON data in the browser.
Postman - Rest Client
---------------------
* Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fdmmgilgnpjigdojojpjoooidkmcomcm
A feature rich Chrome extension with JSON and XML support
Extensions
==========
Tastypie-msgpack
----------------
https://github.com/stephenmcd/tastypie-msgpack
Adds MsgPack_ support to Tastypie's serializer.
.. _MsgPack: http://msgpack.org/
Python
======
Slumber
-------
http://slumber.in/
Slumber is a small Python library that makes it easy to access & work with
APIs. It works for many others, but works especially well with Tastypie.
Hammock
-------
https://github.com/kadirpekel/hammock
Hammock is a fun module lets you deal with rest APIs by converting them into dead simple programmatic APIs.
It uses popular ``requests`` module in backyard to provide full-fledged rest experience.
Here is what it looks like::
>>> import hammock
>>> api = hammock.Hammock('http://localhost:8000')
>>> api.users('foo').posts('bar').comments.GET()
<Response [200]>
drest
-----
http://drest.rtfd.org/
drest is another small Python library. It focuses on extensibility & can also
work with many different API, with an emphasis on Tastypie.
httpie
------
https://github.com/jkbr/httpie
HTTPie is a command line HTTP client written in Python. Its goal is to make
command-line interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible and
allows much conciser statements compared with curl.
For example for POSTing a JSON object you simply call:
$ http localhost:8000/api/v1/entry/ title="Foo" body="Bar" user="/api/v1/user/1/"
Now compare this with curl:
$ curl --dump-header - -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"title": "Foo", "body": "Bar", "user": "/api/v1/user/1/"}' http://localhost:8000/api/v1/entry/
json.tool
---------
Included with Python, this tool makes reformatting JSON easy. For example::
$ curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/note/ | python -m json.tool
Will return nicely reformatted data like::
{
"meta": {
"total_count": 1
},
"objects": [
{
"content": "Hello world!",
"user": "/api/v1/user/1/"
}
]
}
django-permissionsx
-------------------
https://github.com/thinkingpotato/django-permissionsx
This package allows using one set of rules both for Django class-based views]
and Tastypie authorization. For example:
**articles/permissions.py**::
class StaffPermissions(Permissions):
permissions = P(profile__is_editor=True) | P(profile__is_administrator=True)
**articles/views.py**::
class ArticleDeleteView(PermissionsViewMixin, DeleteView):
model = Article
success_url = reverse_lazy('article_list')
permissions = StaffPermissions
**articles/api.py**::
class StaffOnlyAuthorization(TastypieAuthorization):
permissions_class = StaffPermissions
django-superbulk
----------------
https://github.com/thelonecabbage/django-superbulk
This app adds bulk operation support to any Django view-based app, allowing for
better transactional behavior.
Javascript
==========
backbone-tastypie
-----------------
https://github.com/PaulUithol/backbone-tastypie
A small layer that makes Backbone & Tastypie plan nicely together.
backbone-relational
-------------------
https://github.com/PaulUithol/Backbone-relational/
Allows Backbone to work with relational data, like the kind of data Tastypie
provides.
