How to programmatically call a Django Rest Framework view within another view?

Question

I have the following generic class based views built with Django Rest framework (DRF)

class ExampleDetail(generics.RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView):
    queryse         


        

Answer 1

I didn't tried it, but I think the following should work.

• Server side:

Call the DRF and poing by url.open or request

as this answer suggest

Example:

import requests
from django.shortcuts import render


def home(request):
   # get the list of todos
   response = 
    requests.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/')
   # transfor the response to json objects
   todos = response.json()
   return render(request, "main_app/home.html", {"todos": todos})

Complete example

• Client side:

You can call the DRF and point by ajax request from any other view.
