How can I test asynchronous Django REST framework views?

How can I test asynchronous Django REST framework views?

You can use Django's built-in test framework along with pytest and httpx for testing async views.

Can you provide a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pytest
from httpx import AsyncClient
from myapp.models import MyModel
from myapp.views import MyAsyncView

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_my_async_view():
    async with AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.get('/my-async-url/')
    assert response.status_code == 200

What about mocking database calls in these tests?

You can use the pytest-mock plugin to mock database calls. For example:

mocked_instance = mocker.patch('myapp.models.MyModel.objects.get')
mocked_instance.return_value = MyModel(...)  # Mocked return value
