Notes

Choosing the base class to use

We have seen 4 ways to build API views until now

• Pure Django views
• APIView subclasses
• generics.* subclasses
• viewsets.ModelViewSet

So which one should you use when? My rule of thumb is,

• Use viewsets.ModelViewSet when you are going to allow all or most of CRUD operations on a model.
• Use generics.* when you only want to allow some operations on a model
• Use APIView when you want to completely customize the behaviour.
