How do I set up Django Rest Framework?

To set up Django Rest Framework, first install it using pip: pip install djangorestframework. Then, add 'rest_framework' to your INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py file.

What are the basic configurations I need to do?

You need to configure the REST framework settings in your settings.py, such as authentication classes and permission classes.

Can you give me an example of a simple API view?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

class HelloWorld(APIView):
    def get(self, request):
        return Response({'message': 'Hello, World!'})

How do I test my API?

You can use tools like Postman or curl to test your API endpoints. Just send a request to the URL you defined.
