Hello,
Is it possible to use Django Rest Framework (DRF) for something other than
models? Here's a trivial example,
To make an API end point which returns the current server time (in JSON
format, eg: {"current_time": "XYZ"}). It can accept a string to indicate
timezone, and must accept both GET and POST.
I can figure out how to do the above without DRF using regular Django urls
and views. What I can't figure out is how to use DRF for the same.
>From the docs, it looks best to use routers when making a DRF end-point.
Which means I need a structure like this,
urls.py <-> router <-> Viewset <-> Serializer
But as I understand Serilizers (
http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/ ), they can
only be used for complex models or querysets - which is not what I need.
I feel like I'm mis-understanding something about DRF. Help please?
Puzzled,
Abraham V.
