📚 Libraries

Django Classy Doc

Your Project's Custom API Documentation

As Django projects grow in scale and complexity, clear and comprehensive API documentation becomes crucial. While Django and Django REST Framework get such excellent documentation with CCBV and CDRF respectively, developers often find themselves lacking similar resources for their own custom code.

Django TemplateYAK

Class-based Django TemplateTags

Writing templatetags in Django that don't fit simpletag or inclusiontag is non-trivial. Class-based templatetags is an attempt at making it less complicated.

As a bonus, you'll find a Django Komponent system also included in this library. You can use it straight out of the box or as a reference for implementing your own templatetags.

DRF Schema Adapter

Simplifying Large-Scale REST API Development

In the world of complex Django projects with hundreds or even thousands of models, creating and managing ViewSets and Serializers for each model can be a time-consuming and tedious process. Enter DRF-Schema-Adapter, a powerful solution designed to streamline REST API development with DRF.
