What problem does it solve?
Django projects using Django REST Framework often suffer from inconsistent encoding practices and hard-to-maintain API conventions. This Skill encapsulates a set of encoded standards and best practices for DRF, automatically loading team conventions for ViewSet structure, serializer rules, permission management, and routing when building backend APIs with DRF. It also helps ensure consistency even when DRF terms aren’t explicitly mentioned, as long as developers work on Django Web API code.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforce team DRF conventions: ViewSet-driven design, centralized serializer rules, and a standard routing approach using DefaultRouter.
- Provide references, templates, and a guided workflow to support project setup, code reviews, and onboardings.
- Use cases include new DRF projects, ongoing API development, and assessments during code reviews to ensure adherence to the team standards.
Quick Start
Load the conventions.md and best-practices.md, then run the evaluation workflow to verify a DRF project against the team's standards.
