• Building a Blog in Django

  > The only place I really see Django at large companies is as an api using DRF or something. This is not a bad thing. Using Django as an API backend is amazingly fast in terms of development time, especially with modern frameworks such as django-ninja [1]. Just use the built-in ORM to create models, write your endpoints, and use the built-in admin interface to play with the database if you don't have endpoints for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  Personally, I also prefer django-ninja to DRF. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Django Views – The Right Way

  Or just use django-ninja if you are writing an API. Maybe it's just because I came from teams that used tornado and then fastapi but it seems like everything in this article would be solved by using a simpler interface for writing endpoints. https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Django 4.2 released

  Also recommend Django-Ninja. It basically reimplements fastapi's type and decorator-based API construction, but embedded directly in django so you have access to django's ORM and middleware library. Source: about 2 years ago

• Django 4.2 Released

  A good compromise I have found is to use Django Ninja [1]. It is inspired by FastAPI, so it has a lot of the nice things like the automatically generated Swagger/OpenAPI docs, as well as having routers as decorators, and using python types for automatic serialization. While I think FastAPI is great in its first class async support, Django has the Django ORM, plus Django Admin, which for me have been indisposable.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Yo Mama Jokes API

  I honestly just followed the tutorial on https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/ because I read about it and wanted to test it out / learn something new. Source: about 2 years ago

• Portable Django

  I find https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/ even more awesome these days because it natively integrates with Django ORM, which I prefer over alternatives such as SQLAlchemy. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• What to Expect from Your Framework

  Django is nice, and python's type hints can be nice. Why not have a nice django? >I really just want to write business logic, wire that up to endpoints in a nice DSL, and move on. Not really sure what you mean, but django ninja? https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/ Just write a function, use type hints to say what arguments it takes, and throw a decorator onto it. Very similar to fastApi but with the django... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Learning Django as a non-beginner code/python

  If you've used FastAPI before, you should check out django-ninja for your views and just familiarize yourself with the Django ORM to do database operations (e.g. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/db/queries/). That'll probably get you 80% of what you need. Source: over 2 years ago

• Who’s tried the merger of Django and FastAPI? How do you feel about it?

  By "merger" I'm assuming you're referring to Django Ninja https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/? Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?

  Nowadays, Django has an amazing library which is a lot like FastAPI but in the Django ecosystem. https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/ It's absolutely wonderful. I would use that in a MVP, and do the F/E in NextJS + Typescript. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Should you always use DRF when using Django as a backend for mobile apps?

  Personally, I now prefer django-ninja for my APIs. I think it's structured better, faster to get started with and more comprehensible than DRF. Source: over 2 years ago

• is it a good idea to integrate Flask/FastAPI to Django?

  While I think it's a bad idea, I wonder if you could add Django Ninja and that would be good enough. Source: over 2 years ago

• is it a good idea to integrate Flask/FastAPI to Django?

  With data and business logic already structured for django, "add FastAPI to the mix" is not the best way to get those benefits, IMO. I'd be better off integrating Django Ninja. It is heavily inspired by FastAPI and carries many of the benefits I'd be looking for. But it lets me reuse the things I've already got. Source: over 2 years ago

• Htmx

  As long-time (and happy) DRF user of more than 7 years I've recently switched to django-ninja [1]. It's like FastAPI, but for django. Granted, I've only used it for a couple of months now, and also not in production yet. But I think it's pretty nice and a breadth of fresh air for django. The thing you get from using it is full typing and IDE support (autocomplete!). It's using pydantic instead of DRF's... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• FastAPI - stable enough for production grade, scalable app?

  Last but not least: Django ninja. It’s basically Django's answer to FastAPI. Unfortunately the least performant option, but with the benefit of being built in top of Django. If you’re building an API, need to go to production fast and performance isn’t that important (note though that Django is still fast enough for most applications, it won’t be your limiting factor usually) this would be the best choice in my...

• Introducing Svelte, and Comparing Svelte with React and Vue

  I like NextJS for the frontend and django-ninja for the backend. django-ninja has all those things you mention and way more, and has a very rich backend ecosystem thanks to being in the django world. https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Simple Django API

  If you are using other django features but don't need the ORM, that seems like just the thing django-ninja is made for. Source: almost 3 years ago

• API + HTMx front-end architecture question

  So I have 2 Django apps: the API app and the Web app. The API app will use Django Ninja or Fast API to build a clean self-documented REST API. The Web app will serve HTMx pages. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Web frameworks – which less popular framework are you using and why?

  I've used a variety of Python frameworks, DJango, FLask, FastAPI, and I'm always coming back to DJango and wishing I had just used it from the beginning. Django Ninja brings some of the nice features of FastAPI to Django- https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• The Flask Mega-Tutorial

  I quite like the look of Django-Ninja (https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com). It's inspired by FastAPI but plays nicely with Django. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
