Lightweight REST API built on top of Django's class-based generic views

django-sliver's Issues

Generic relations.

Hi,
Really digging the lightweight approach of this. It is a nice change of pace from the heavy hitter like tastypie.

I was just wondering about Generic relations support, e.g. GenericForeignKeys (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#id1)

Is it planned for future versions? Any work arounds?

Resource.dehydrate() doesn't respect Resource.exclude attribute

in line 139 of sliver/views.py:

        exclude = exclude or []

Should be something like:

        exclude = exclude or self.exclude

URIMixin

I'm sorry for not making a pull request for this but.

There is probably a typo which raises an error about the URIMixin

URI should be capitalized:
https://github.com/jarcoal/django-sliver/blob/master/sliver/mixins.py#L101

data = super(URIMixin, self).dehydrate(model, fields, exclude, relationship_prefix)

In the future I'll correctly fork and make pull requests not just describe the problems. Great job on this nice clean library!

Implement mimetypes

For example, a JSONMixin with a ResourceClass will return an HttpResponse of the "text/html" type, when it should be "application/json".

This is a quick fix:

def render_to_response(self, context, status=200):
        """ Out to the tubes...
        """
        return HttpResponse(self.render(context), mimetype="application/json", status=status)

But each mixin should probably report its own mimetype, which the render_to_response() method could respect.

No license information

We're interested in evaluating the software, but can't find licensing information anywhere. If you really want this to be open source, please attach a license to it. Best would be a combination of:

• a LICENSE file in the root directory specifying the license info. Eg, a file containing a BSD-type license or MIT or GPL.
• a header in each file specifying the copyright/license.

Either one will do in a pinch, but both are best.

But we (at Disney Animation) cannot even establish an evaluation of the software without some kind of indication of copyright/licensing.

Do a release on PyPI

I bumped the version number to 0.1.1, and did a test publication to TestPI, but I don't have permission to publish to the main index. Would you mind? 🙏

Enable Travis for this main repository

Looks like I don't have permission to flip the switch: https://travis-ci.org/jarcoal/django-sliver

Unicode supprt

Currently decoding fails on dehydrate with unicode strings.

To allow unicode strings please

val = str(val)

to

val = unicode(val)
