REST Scaffold is a Django app that provides a template tag helper for using
the `rest-scaffold.js <https://github.com/gregschmit/rest-scaffold>`_ library.

**The Problem**: AJAX is nice because if you have an API, then you don't need separate
pages/views for listing, creating, and updating model instances. But writing custom AJAX
tables on the frontend can be time-consuming.

**The Solution**: This app provides a template tag that uses ``rest-scaffold.js`` to
quickly render "scaffolds", which are tables that have controls which interact with your
API.


How to Use
==========

.. code-block:: shell

    $ pip install django-rest-scaffold

Include ``rest_scaffold`` in your ``INSTALLED_APPS``.

Build your API or create one using
`AutoREST <https://github.com/gregschmit/autorest>`_.

Then, insert a scaffold using the ``rest_scaffold`` template tag. At the top
you'll need to load the template tag:

.. code-block:: python

    {% load rest_scaffold %}

And then wherever you want in the HTML page, inject the scaffold:

.. code-block:: python

    {% rest_scaffold 'user' api_root='api' %}

In the above example, you would see a scaffold for the ``User`` model.

Dev Quickstart
==============

REST Scaffold comes with a ``settings.py`` file, technically making it a Django project
as well as a Django app. First clone, the repository into a location of your choosing:

.. code-block:: shell

    $ git clone https://github.com/gregschmit/django-rest-scaffold

Then you can go into the ``django-rest-scaffold`` directory, install the test
environment requirements, and then migrate and run the local development server:

.. code-block:: shell

    $ cd django-rest-scaffold
    $ pip install -r requirements-test.txt
    $ python manage.py migrate
    $ python manage.py createsuperuser
    ...
    $ python manage.py runserver

Then you can see the api at http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/, and you can see the example
scaffold page at http://127.0.0.1:8000/example/.
