How do I set up URL views in a Django REST API?

To set up URL views in a Django REST API, you need to define your views and then map them to URLs in your urls.py file.

Can you show me an example of a simple view?

Sure! Here's a simple view that returns a list of items:

from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response

class ItemList(APIView):
    def get(self, request):
        items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3']
        return Response(items)

How do I connect this view to a URL?

You can connect it in your urls.py like this:

from django.urls import path
from .views import ItemList

urlpatterns = [
    path('items/', ItemList.as_view()),
]

What if I want to add more functionality to the view?

You can add methods like post, put, or delete to handle different HTTP requests. Just define them in your view class.
