An AngularJS module that provides a resource-generation service similar to ngResource, but optimized for the Django REST Framework. The biggest features:

• Trailing slashes allowed in the resource URLs per the Django community norm.
• The isArray methods like query allow for paginated responses. The pages will be streamed into the promise object.

Download angular-django-rest-resource.js and put it in your project. You may also do it the bower way:

bower install angular-django-rest-resource

Do this somewhere in your application HTML:

<script src="angular-django-rest-resource.js"></script>

Add this AngularJS module as a dependency to your AngularJS application:

angular.module('app', [..., 'djangoRESTResources']);

(where 'app' is whatever you've named your AngularJS application).

In your controllers and anything that needs to interact with the Django REST Framework services, inject the djResource service. Then you can create class-like objects that represent (and interact with) your Django REST Framework resources:

var Poll = djResource('/polls/:pollId/', {pollId:'@id'});

var myPoll = Poll.get({pollId:86}, function() {
    myPoll.readByUser = true;
    myPoll.$save();
});

For complete API, consider the documentation for $resource, as this module follows the API quite closely.

This is a work in progress, but it gives some hints on usage in a real world scenario.

1. Create a Python virtualenv.

2. Install the dependencies:

    cd test
    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Set up the database and fixtures (if first time use).

    python manage.py syncdb
   

4. Run the server:

    python manage.py runserver
   

5. Point web browser to http://localhost:8000/.
