Database Configuration

To use SQLite or PostgreSQL database comment/uncomment the corresponding section of the settings.py

# DATABASES = {
#     'default': {
#         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
#         'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
#     }
# }

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'dj_api',
        'USER': 'xxx',
        'PASSWORD': 'xxxxx',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

Make sure you run migrations after changing the database.

Using the Rest Framework Interface

You may need to uncomment the following line in the settings.py to use the rest framework interface:

# 'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',

But, it may interfere with the token authentication in the bootstrap theme. Therefore after testing APIs, recomment the above line.

Token timeout

Configure settings.py

TOKEN_EXPIRE_TIME = 1500 # Seconds,
