After our app is added in settings.py in previous post, Let’s create our first DRF Model for our app. We will create a Quote model which has quote text, author and image url.
You can get all the files related to the examples here : https://github.com/hpin2019/coding-sessions/tree/master/drf-tutorial-1
(venv) $ pwd <your_path>/backend/restapi (venv) $ vi quotes/models.py
Add following code for model :
from django.db import models
# Create your models here.
class Quote(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=False, null=False)
author = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
image_url = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True,null=True)
We have added three fields :text, author and image_url, all of them are text.
Now add a serializer for the model in new serializers.py file
(venv) $ vi quotes/serializers.py
from quotes.models import Quote
from rest_framework import serializers
class QuoteSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Quote
fields = '__all__'
This will create a ready serializer class for us based on Quotes Model. In next post, we will create DB Migrations and test our serializers.
