Django Ninja is a web framework for building APIs with Django and Python 3.6+ type hints.
Key features:
- Easy: Designed to be easy to use and intuitive.
- FAST execution: Very high performance thanks to Pydantic and async support.
- Fast to code: Type hints and automatic docs lets you focus only on business logic.
- Standards-based: Based on the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema.
- Django friendly: (obviously) has good integration with the Django core and ORM.
- Production ready: Used by multiple companies on live projects (If you use django-ninja and would like to publish your feedback, please email [email protected]).
Documentation: https://django-ninja.dev
pip install django-ninja
In your django project next to urls.py create new api.py
file:
from ninja import NinjaAPI
api = NinjaAPI()
@api.get("/add")
def add(request, a: int, b: int):
return {"result": a + b}
Now go to urls.py
and add the following:
...
from .api import api
urlpatterns = [
path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
path("api/", api.urls), # <---------- !
]
That's it !
Now you've just created an API that:
- receives an HTTP GET request at
/api/add
- takes, validates and type-casts GET parameters
a
andb
- decodes the result to JSON
- generates an OpenAPI schema for defined operation
Now go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/docs
You will see the automatic interactive API documentation (provided by Swagger UI or Redoc):
