Here are my notes on how to upgrade Tastypie from version 0.9.11 to 0.9.12, as there’re no release notes for v0.9.12. Release notes for 0.9.13 and above are available here: http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/release_notes/index.html.
1. override_urls() becomes prepend_urls(), the new name makes more sense since what the function does is to insert customized urls instead of replacing the default urls with your customized urls.
2. obj_* methods accepts different parameters. Before:
def obj_get(self, request=None, **kwargs):
pass
Now obj_get, obj_create, etc. accepts bundle as the parameter apart from keyword arguments. You can get request object from the bundle:
def obj_get(self, bundle, **kwargs):
request = bundle.request
pass
3. apply_authorization_limits is no longer in use and it’s replace with a finer grained authorization mechanism. For example:
from tastypie.authorization import Authorization
from tastypie.exceptions import Unauthorized
class ProgramAuthorization(Authorization):
def read_list(self, object_list, bundle):
user = bundle.request.user
if user.is_authenticated() and user.is_staff:
return object_list
else:
return object_list.filter(is_published=True)
def read_detail(self, object_list, bundle):
if bundle.request.user.is_staff or bundle.obj.is_published:
return True
raise Unauthorized()
def create_list(self, object_list, bundle):
raise Unauthorized()
def create_detail(self, object_list, bundle):
if bundle.request.user.is_staff:
return True
raise Unauthorized()
def update_list(self, object_list, bundle):
raise Unauthorized()
def update_detail(self, object_list, bundle):
if bundle.request.user.is_staff:
return True
raise Unauthorized()
def delete_list(self, object_list, bundle):
raise Unauthorized()
def delete_detail(self, object_list, bundle):
raise Unauthorized()
Please note that *_list methods should return a list or raise exceptions; whereas *_detail methods should return boolean values or raise exceptions. For more information, see: http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/v0.9.12/authorization.html
