WEBVTT 00:01.640 --> 00:02.480 Hi. 00:02.630 --> 00:08.450 In this video we will be talking about Django rest framework. 00:08.450 --> 00:17.510 So basically we will add rest into our Django and we'll use this framework which is you can find it 00:17.510 --> 00:23.120 on WW dot Django rest framework.org. 00:23.360 --> 00:24.470 What is rest. 00:24.500 --> 00:28.040 Rest is representational state transfer. 00:28.040 --> 00:31.910 So basically that's trend now to serve the data. 00:31.910 --> 00:37.550 If we have data on our server we need to actually to communicate with our front end. 00:37.550 --> 00:43.970 So if we have front end using some framework, we need to from that framework, ask for a data and that 00:43.970 --> 00:45.530 data will come back to us. 00:45.530 --> 00:52.670 Usually that's a Json format and then that format we can use in the framework and display somehow. 00:52.670 --> 01:01.710 So Django Rest framework will give us that opportunity to serve our backend data in a nice format that 01:01.710 --> 01:09.240 we can actually use and we'll use this chunk of rest framework for the rest of the tutorial and I will 01:09.240 --> 01:11.160 show you how to do it. 01:11.160 --> 01:17.790 So basically what we need to do in our Django is we need to add it to Django. 01:18.120 --> 01:23.490 We'll come back here and I can close those. 01:24.240 --> 01:36.600 What we need to do is we need to go to terminal and inside here we can do Pip install Django rest framework 01:36.600 --> 01:37.590 altogether. 01:37.590 --> 01:40.020 So pip install Django rest framework. 01:43.680 --> 01:48.280 And you can see Django rest framework has been installed with version 3.92. 01:48.300 --> 01:50.290 So that's done. 01:50.310 --> 01:58.890 What we also need to do is going to our project and our project is first and then inside settings. 01:59.190 --> 02:05.490 You can see here inside installed apps, whatever we add something like this. 02:05.520 --> 02:08.370 We also need to add it to installed apps. 02:09.480 --> 02:15.300 So in our case we are adding rest underscore framework. 02:18.130 --> 02:24.870 Like that, uh, like that framework and then comma at the end. 02:24.880 --> 02:32.440 So we have rest framework added to our installed apps just to make sure whatever you add it like that, 02:32.440 --> 02:35.770 you also need to make sure all the migrations will be applied. 02:35.770 --> 02:45.070 In fact, there is no migrations for this Django rest, but you might have other cases or other apps 02:46.330 --> 02:49.390 that might need to have a migrations applied. 02:49.390 --> 02:53.650 So you will have that command Python manage.py migrate. 02:53.650 --> 03:00.250 You don't need to do make migrations because if some of the frameworks will come with migration, it 03:00.250 --> 03:01.600 will be already built in. 03:01.600 --> 03:05.500 So you don't need to do make migration, just migrate and you click it. 03:05.500 --> 03:08.500 And in our case there is no migrations to apply. 03:08.530 --> 03:10.210 So we are good to go. 03:10.330 --> 03:17.620 So we have Django rest framework added to to Django and then we can use it. 03:17.620 --> 03:25.840 And in the next video I will show you how we can actually build or serve some of our data with Serializers.
