  • Why Is the Django Admin "Ugly"?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Oct 2023
    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.

  • What do you think of Django Admin?
    2 projects | /r/django | 23 Feb 2022
    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).

  • OAS is the most crtitical tool for API Developers
    4 projects | dev.to | 23 Aug 2022
    Common frameworks for building APIs in Python are the Django Rest Framework and Flask-RESTPLUS. Django developers can add the django-rest-swagger module via pip, whereas Flask-RESTPLUS has Swagger support built in. Both are very powerful in terms of automation, so they do not require a lot of configuration.

    Examples include Swagger-Core, SpringFox, NSwag / Swashbuckle, Swagger-express / HAPI-Swagger, Django-REST-Swagger / Flask-RESTplus, etc.
  • Does django-rest-swagger not work well with modelserializers?
    1 project | /r/codehunter | 21 Apr 2022
    I've been going off of the documentation on the django-rest-swagger github page, more specifically the part called "How it works". It shows that you can define your own parameters for your rest api, and have those parameters show up in your swagger doc page.
  • Exclude URLs from Django REST Swagger
    1 project | /r/codehunter | 6 Apr 2022
    I have a few URLs that I want to exclude from my REST API documentation. I'm using Django REST Swagger and the only documentation I can find (https://github.com/marcgibbons/django-rest-swagger) doesn't really tell me much. There is the "exclude_namespaces" part of SWAGGER_SETTINGS in settings.py, but there is no real explanation or example of how to use this.
