Using jsonp with the django-rest-framework

Question

The django rest framework release notes claim that JSONP support was added back in 0.3.0. I also found a JSONPRenderer class in the framework. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to use the thing... I'm fairly new to jsonp.

Has anyone ever successfully used jsonp with the django rest framework?

Answer 1

While posting this, I found the answer (or at least AN answer). It appears that the jsonp renderer is available by default on a ModelResource, so all you need to do is add "?format=json-p" to the requesting url.

Answer 2

Just in case someone is looking for jsonp.

First (docs):

pip install djangorestframework-jsonp

And then modify your REST framework settings.

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
  'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework_jsonp.renderers.JSONPRenderer',
  ),
}

Finally make sure that your url contains ?format=jsonp and not ?format=json-p.

Answer 3

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework_jsonp.renderers import JSONPRenderer, JSONRenderer
from rest_framework.response import Response

class YourClass(APIView):
    renderer_classes = (JSONPRenderer, JSONRenderer)

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        your_result = {{ your serialized result }}
        return Response({'status': 'success', 'result': your_result})
