Adding Permission class

Note

It is advised to go through point 2 of Marking models to create REST APIs and Adding Custom Serializer and have an understanding of passing custom view attributes. Here, only example of view_params is given.

To add custom permission class, the dictionary returned by getParams() method of a ViewParams class must have an entry with key constants.PERMISSION_CLASSES. For example:

view_params.py
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
from to_rest import constants
from test_basics import serializers # (1)
from to_rest.utils import ViewParams

class CustomAuthAndPermission(ViewParams):

    def getParams():
        temp = dict()
        temp[constants.AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES] = [BasicAuthentication]
        temp[constants.PERMISSION_CLASSES] = [IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly]
        return temp
  1. Here, test_basics is the directory of the app

Ensure that the name of the class is passed to the decorator restifyModel() in models.py. For example:

models.py
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
from django.db import models
from to_rest.decorators import restifyModel

@restifyModel(customViewParams='CustomAuthAndPermission')
class StudentWithCustomAuthAndPermission(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    def __str__(self):
        return "[name={}]".format(self.name)
