DRF YASG Customizing

Question

I\'m trying to customize my api documentation buuild with yasg.

First off, I would like to determine the naming of my own sections, and what endpoints should be included

Answer 1

Currently, I'm using APIView and @swagger_auto_schema to define the documentation of my endpoint.

In the code below, you can see how to add more information to define your endpoint. I hope it helps you

##serializers.py

class CategorySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    """
    Serializing Categories 
    """
    class Meta:
        model = Category
        fields = [
            'id', 'name', 'slug'
        ]
        read_only_fields = [
           'slug', 
        ]


##views.py

username_param = openapi.Parameter('username', in_=openapi.IN_QUERY, description='Username',
                                type=openapi.TYPE_STRING)
email = openapi.Parameter('email', in_=openapi.IN_QUERY, description='Email',
                                type=openapi.TYPE_STRING)  
category_response = openapi.Response('response description', CategorySerializer)    

class CategoryList(APIView):
    permission_classes = [AllowAny]
          
    @swagger_auto_schema(
        manual_parameters=[username_param, email],
        query_serializer=CategorySerializer,
        responses = {
            '200' : category_response,
            '400': 'Bad Request'
        },        
        security=[],
        operation_id='List of categories',
        operation_description='This endpoint does some magic',
    )
    def get(self, request, format=None):
        """
        GET:
        Return a list of all the existing categories.
        """
        categories = Category.objects.all()
        serializer = CategorySerializer(categories, many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)


    @swagger_auto_schema(
        request_body=CategorySerializer,
        query_serializer=CategorySerializer,
        responses={
            '200': 'Ok Request',
            '400': "Bad Request"
        },
        security=[],
        operation_id='Create category',
        operation_description='Create of categories',
    )
    def post(self, request, format=None):
        """
        POST:
        Create a new category instance.
        """
        serializer = CategorySerializer(data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save(created_by=self.request.user)
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

By last, if you want to see your endpoints in groups by link, you can test commenting the line below in yours urls.py

#urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns)

Below, some screen of how you should see it
