Sanic Views

Sanic has two BaseClassViews: HTTPMethodView, CompositionView. Python-Rest-Framework is connected to both.

Note: To use SanicViews you need to install sanic.

All Classes can be found here:

from rest_framework.views.sanic import *

SanicBaseViews

SanicApiMethodView

This class is a successor: sanic.views.HTTPMethodView,rest_framework.views.BaseApiView.

What the class consists of:

The class is completely safe. The class does not completely change the source code of Flask, and does not restrict from the source functions of the framework.
Class implemented properties: request_object,current_request_method.
Using the rest_framework.views.BaseApiView._dispatch method is configured and can be adjusted by setting the use_dispatch. By default use_dispatch set in True.
For current work, added self._request attribute.
The class itself uses response_class=json_response:

from sanic import response

json_response = response.json

Example:

from rest_framework.views.sanic import SanicApiMethodView


class MyView(SanicApiMethodView):
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        # your view code

SanicApiCompositionView

This class is a successor: sanic.views.SanicApiCompositionView,rest_framework.views.BaseApiView.

What the class consists of:

The class is completely safe. The class does not completely change the source code of Flask, and does not restrict from the source functions of the framework.
Class implemented properties: request_object,current_request_method.
Using the rest_framework.views.BaseApiView._dispatch method is configured and can be adjusted by setting the use_dispatch. By default use_dispatch set in True.
For current work, added self._request attribute.
The class itself uses response_class=json_response:

from sanic import response

json_response = response.json

Example:

from sanic.response import text
from rest_framework.views.sanic import SanicApiCompositionView

class MyCompositionView(SanicApiCompositionView):
    def get_handler(self, request):
        return text('I am a get method')

view = MyCompositionView()
view.add(['GET'], view.get_handler)

Sanic Mixins

Mixins for Sanic are the same useful mixins as rest_framework.views.mixins, but they can only be used in Sanic.

GetValidJsonMixin

The class is successor: rest_framework.views.GetSerializerMixin

Mixin adds the .get_valid_json() method, which parses the query and body of the query, merges them, and automatically serializes it and validates it with rest_framework.serializers.Serializer. You can describe the serializers themselves in the serializers_classes class attribute.

`.get_valid_json()`

This method retrieves from the request all the data that the user sent. Serializes and validates them and returns as a dictionary.

Signature: .get_valid_json(parse_query=False, raise_exception=True) -> dict

parse_query(bool) - Parse query params?
raise_exception(bool) - Raise exception ValidationError, if validation error.

Example:

from rest_framework.views.sanic import SanicApiMethodView, GetValidJsonMixin

class MyView(SanicApiMethodView, GetValidJsonMixin):
    serializer_classes = {
        'get': MySerializer()
    }
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        request_data = self.get_valid_json()
