Django :How to integrate Django Rest framework in an existing application?

Question

How should I integrate Django-REST-API framework in an existing application or I have to create a new project?

Answer 1

You do not need to begin a new project. The basic steps are:

1. Install DRF, something like pip install djangorestframework
2. Add rest_framework to your INSTALLED_APPS
3. Define your serialisers, views and routes.

And that's it.

I suggest you follow the Quickstart and step through the Tutorial — it's pretty welcoming really.

I hope that helps.
