django-admin-interface VS django-rest-framework

There's a good plugin called django-admin-interface that cleans up the Admin page to a point where it is still recognizable as the admin page but looks nicer. You also can customize the color themes, matching the palette of the app.

When I started to use django more than 10 years ago, I was really happy for the admin, immediately after I felt the necessity to customise (re-brand) it for each client, so I looked for available packages and my conclusion was that all admin replacements in the end become hard to maintain, have many issues open and are abandoned, so I ended up writing my own solution that does exactly what I needed: customise the interface using the admin itself. Many years later my solution still works and have few issues open, I use it on a daily basis on different projects and many other users use it. This package is publicly available on GitHub/PyPi: django-admin-interface (I’m the author, any feedback is appreciated).

I’m the author of django-admin-interface, it is actively maintained, well tested and appreciated by the community (more than 1k stars), give a look at it! ;)

Sure, I published and maintain many django packages, the most appreciated one (more than 1k stars) is django-admin-interface.

I've been using django admin interface and it's great. Really well written. https://github.com/fabiocaccamo/django-admin-interface

- Django Rest Framework has no async support? https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/7260

A URL shortener is a service that transforms long and complex URLs into short, easily memorable ones. This tutorial guides you through creating a URL shortener using Django REST framework and Postgres, deploying it on Koyeb.

Now, I'm converting this app into a Vue-based SPA (still powered by Django). I'm using the Django REST Framework to build the API that the SPA will interact with. (I'll be using token-based auth, via django-rest-knox. ETA: I'll actually be using djangorestframework-simplejwt.)

For the backend, we chose Python, Django Rest Framework. On the frontend, React, Redux, Saga, Sass. Let’s start with the backend, which was managed by Yegor. He writes about the server part of the project himself.

With regard to JSON API aspects of Django, have you used https://www.django-rest-framework.org/ ? I find it to be very satisfactory.

django-rest-framework and the Fetch API, or

Django REST Framework (DRF) Django REST Framework is a famous, powerful, and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs in Django. It provides a set of reusable components and tools to simplify API development, including serialization, authentication, permissions, and view sets.

I wish Django would take async more seriously. This comment gives a pretty good overview of the current situation (some points are more valid than others): https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/discussions/...

The Python ecosystem is strange. Where other dev communities will embrace new ways of doing things faster than most people can keep up — the Python community needs to be pulled kicking and screaming into the light once ever decade or so. Python 2 to 3, ~10 years.

async/await has been in Python since 2015, it feels like it's going to be another 5 years before we see people taking async seriously in the big packages. Same problem we had during the 2/3 transition. No library support, no developer support.

Thanks for helping Steve to complete his REST API, he is now partying🥳. You can get more information on how to use the Django REST framework to best way read the documentation. There are many alternatives to the Django REST framework, you can give them a try if you want,

[Django Rest Framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) has the very nice idea of a [ViewSet](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/viewsets/#modelviewset) that allows really minimal code to perform all the basic CRUD actions on a model.
