核心功能实现指南
数据模型设计
以博客API为例，设计基础数据模型：
# api/models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Category(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "Categories"
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Post(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('draft', 'Draft'),
('published', 'Published'),
)
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
slug = models.SlugField(unique_for_date='publish_date')
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='blog_posts')
content = models.TextField()
category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.PROTECT, related_name='posts')
publish_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
status = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, default='draft')
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-publish_date']
def __str__(self):
return self.title
序列化器实现
# api/api/v1/serializers/post_serializers.py
from rest_framework import serializers
from api.models import Post, Category
class CategorySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Category
fields = ['id', 'name', 'slug']
class PostListSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
category = CategorySerializer(read_only=True)
author_username = serializers.ReadOnlyField(source='author.username')
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ['id', 'title', 'slug', 'author_username', 'category',
'publish_date', 'status']
class PostDetailSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
category = CategorySerializer(read_only=True)
author_username = serializers.ReadOnlyField(source='author.username')
word_count = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ['id', 'title', 'slug', 'author_username', 'content',
'category', 'publish_date', 'status', 'word_count',
'created_at', 'updated_at']
def get_word_count(self, obj):
return len(obj.content.split())
def validate_title(self, value):
if len(value) < 5:
raise serializers.ValidationError("标题至少需要5个字符")
return value
视图与路由配置
# api/api/v1/views/post_views.py
from rest_framework import viewsets, filters, permissions
from django_filters.rest_framework import DjangoFilterBackend
from api.models import Post
from ..serializers.post_serializers import PostListSerializer, PostDetailSerializer
from ..permissions import IsAuthorOrReadOnly
class PostViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Post.objects.all()
filter_backends = [DjangoFilterBackend, filters.SearchFilter, filters.OrderingFilter]
filterset_fields = ['status', 'category__slug']
search_fields = ['title', 'content', 'author__username']
ordering_fields = ['publish_date', 'title']
lookup_field = 'slug'
permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly, IsAuthorOrReadOnly]
def get_serializer_class(self):
if self.action == 'list':
return PostListSerializer
return PostDetailSerializer
def perform_create(self, serializer):
serializer.save(author=self.request.user)
# api/api/v1/urls.py
from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from .views.post_views import PostViewSet
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'posts', PostViewSet)
urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
]
# api_project/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from drf_spectacular.views import SpectacularAPIView, SpectacularSwaggerView
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('api/v1/', include('api.api.v1.urls')),
path('api/schema/', SpectacularAPIView.as_view(), name='schema'),
path('api/docs/', SpectacularSwaggerView.as_view(url_name='schema'), name='swagger-ui'),
]
认证与权限系统
多种认证方案对比与实现
| 认证方式 | 安全级别 | 适用场景 | 实现复杂度 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token认证 | 中 | 内部服务、移动应用 | 低 |
| JWT认证 | 高 | 第三方集成、分布式系统 | 中 |
| Session认证 | 中 | 前后端不分离应用 | 低 |
| OAuth2 | 高 | 开放平台、多客户端 | 高 |
JWT认证实现
pip install djangorestframework-simplejwt==5.3.0
# settings.py添加
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
# ...其他配置
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
),
}
# 添加JWT配置
from datetime import timedelta
SIMPLE_JWT = {
'ACCESS_TOKEN_LIFETIME': timedelta(minutes=60),
'REFRESH_TOKEN_LIFETIME': timedelta(days=14),
'ROTATE_REFRESH_TOKENS': True,
'BLACKLIST_AFTER_ROTATION': True,
'ALGORITHM': 'HS256',
'SIGNING_KEY': SECRET_KEY,
'AUTH_HEADER_TYPES': ('Bearer',),
}
# api_project/urls.py添加JWT路由
from rest_framework_simplejwt.views import (
TokenObtainPairView,
TokenRefreshView,
)
urlpatterns += [
path('api/token/', TokenObtainPairView.as_view(), name='token_obtain_pair'),
path('api/token/refresh/', TokenRefreshView.as_view(), name='token_refresh'),
]
自定义权限类
# api/api/v1/permissions.py
from rest_framework import permissions
class IsAuthorOrReadOnly(permissions.BasePermission):
"""
只允许作者编辑自己的内容
"""
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
# 读操作允许任何请求
if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
return True
# 写操作只允许作者
return obj.author == request.user
class IsAdminOrReadOnly(permissions.BasePermission):
"""
只允许管理员进行写操作
"""
def has_permission(self, request, view):
if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
return True
return request.user and request.user.is_staff
高级功能实现
嵌套路由配置
pip install drf-nested-routers==0.93.4
# api/api/v1/views/comment_views.py
from rest_framework import viewsets
from api.models import Post, Comment
from ..serializers.comment_serializers import CommentSerializer
class CommentViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = CommentSerializer
def get_queryset(self):
return Comment.objects.filter(post__slug=self.kwargs['post_slug'])
def perform_create(self, serializer):
post = Post.objects.get(slug=self.kwargs['post_slug'])
serializer.save(author=self.request.user, post=post)
# api/api/v1/urls.py
from rest_framework_nested import routers
from .views.post_views import PostViewSet
from .views.comment_views import CommentViewSet
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'posts', PostViewSet)
# 创建嵌套路由
posts_router = routers.NestedSimpleRouter(router, r'posts', lookup='post')
posts_router.register(r'comments', CommentViewSet, basename='post-comments')
urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
path('', include(posts_router.urls)),
]
性能优化实践
1. 查询优化
# 优化前：N+1查询问题
queryset = Post.objects.all() # 会导致每篇文章额外查询作者和分类
# 优化后：使用select_related和prefetch_related
queryset = Post.objects.select_related('author', 'category').all()
2. 序列化优化
# 使用drf-flex-fields实现动态字段
pip install drf-flex-fields==1.1.0
# 在序列化器中继承FlexFieldsModelSerializer
from rest_flex_fields import FlexFieldsModelSerializer
class PostDetailSerializer(FlexFieldsModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ['id', 'title', 'content', 'author', 'category']
expandable_fields = {
'author': ('api.UserSerializer', {'source': 'author'}),
'category': ('api.CategorySerializer', {'source': 'category'})
}
请求示例：GET /api/v1/posts/?expand=author,category
3. 缓存实现
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
from django.views.decorators.vary import vary_on_cookie
class PostViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
# ...其他配置
@method_decorator(cache_page(60 * 15)) # 缓存15分钟
@method_decorator(vary_on_cookie)
def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return super().list(request, *args, **kwargs)
API文档与测试
自动化文档生成
DRF Spectacular会自动为我们生成OpenAPI规范的文档，访问/api/docs/即可看到交互式文档界面。
单元测试实现
# api/tests/test_post_api.py
from django.urls import reverse
from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.test import APITestCase
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from api.models import Post, Category
class PostAPITestCase(APITestCase):
def setUp(self):
# 创建测试用户
self.user = User.objects.create_user(
username='testuser',
password='testpass123'
)
# 创建测试分类
self.category = Category.objects.create(
name='Test Category',
slug='test-category'
)
# 创建测试文章
self.post = Post.objects.create(
title='Test Post',
slug='test-post',
content='Test content',
author=self.user,
category=self.category,
status='published'
)
self.url = reverse('post-list')
def test_get_post_list(self):
"""测试获取文章列表"""
response = self.client.get(self.url)
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_200_OK)
self.assertEqual(len(response.data['results']), 1)
def test_create_post_authenticated(self):
"""测试认证用户创建文章"""
self.client.force_authenticate(user=self.user)
data = {
'title': 'New Test Post',
'slug': 'new-test-post',
'content': 'New test content',
'category': self.category.id,
'status': 'draft'
}
response = self.client.post(self.url, data)
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
self.assertEqual(Post.objects.count(), 2)
部署与监控
Docker容器化配置

性能监控
# 安装django-silk进行性能分析
pip install django-silk==5.0.0
# settings.py添加
INSTALLED_APPS += ['silk']
MIDDLEWARE = ['silk.middleware.SilkyMiddleware'] + MIDDLEWARE
# urls.py添加
urlpatterns += [path('silk/', include('silk.urls', namespace='silk'))]
常见问题与解决方案
N+1查询问题
症状：API响应缓慢，数据库查询次数异常多
原因：序列化关联对象时未使用select_related/prefetch_related
解决方案：
# 优化查询集
queryset = Post.objects.select_related('author', 'category').prefetch_related('comments').all()
序列化性能问题
症状：大量数据序列化耗时过长
解决方案：
- 使用
drf-ujson-renderer替换默认JSON渲染器
pip install drf-ujson-renderer==0.5.0
# settings.py
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
'drf_ujson.renderers.UJSONRenderer',
'rest_framework.renderers.BrowsableAPIRenderer',
),
}
- 实现分页加载：已在全局配置中设置PageNumberPagination
权限控制冲突
症状：权限检查不按预期工作
解决方案：使用rest_condition组合多个权限
pip install rest_condition==1.0.3
from rest_condition import Or, And
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated, IsAdminUser
permission_classes = [Or(IsAdminUser, And(IsAuthenticated, IsAuthor))]
