### API App
|
|
|
|
When writing backend APIs, you make changes to your app that may not be compatible with older versions.
|
|
|
|
Examples of these include the following;
|
|
|
|
- You changed what should be sent to your login API in order to authenticate with a newer version of your backend
|
|
- When requesting books from your database, a newer version of your API may return a different format (XML instead of JSON)
|
|
|
|
You should take this into account when building a new project, otherwise users on older versions may encounter errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This lets you allow users on older versions to still use your app (v1) while allowing newer users without any overlap (v2)
|
|
|
|
We will structure your project in the same manner as above. Create a folder named `api` in your Django project folder besides **config**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create the following files inside the `api` folder
|
|
|
|
- `__init__.py`
|
|
- `urls.py`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Leave **\_\_init\_\_.py** blank. Instead, open **urls.py** and add the following code
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from django.contrib import admin
|
|
from django.urls import path
|
|
|
|
urlpatterns = [
|
|
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We will then need to point the main config's url file **(url.py)** to the one we just created. Open the **urls.py** file in the **config** folder, replace it with the following
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from django.urls import path, include
|
|
|
|
urlpatterns = [
|
|
path('api/v1/', include('api.urls')),
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your setup should then look like this

|
|
|
|
There is no need to include the **api** app in your **INSTALLED\_APPS (config/settings.py)**
|
|
|
|
The next section will handle users and authentication
