I am in the process of developing a small project using django rest framework, and within that requirement, I need to list every table in one single page. Below is the code snippet.

class QuizList(APIView):
    renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]
    template_name = 'adminView.html'

    def get(self, request):
        queryset = Quiz.objects.all()
        return Response({'quiz': queryset})


class AnswerList(APIView):
    renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]
    template_name = 'adminView.html'

    def get(self, request):
        queryset = Answer.objects.all()
        return Response({'answer': queryset})


class QuestionList(APIView):
    renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]
    template_name = 'adminView.html'

    def get(self, request):
        queryset = Question.objects.all()
        return Response({'question': queryset})

In the above snippet, I am able to list the very first class "QuizView" on my web page. But other than that, when I am trying to add other APIViews, they are simply not happening. Below is the HTML template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Admin View</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
    {% for quizez in quiz %}

    <a href="" onclick="">{{ quizez.name }}</a>
    {% endfor %}

</ul>

<ul>
    {% for questions in question %}
    <li>{{ questions.label }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

<ul>
    {% for answers in answer %}
    <li>{{ answer.text }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

</body>
</html>

I tried to put all the for loops within a single "ul", but even that didn't work. Please help.

Thank you

Hi,

There is no error. But based on the urls settings I could see the "QuizList" output to my web page. Other than that, other serializers are not being displayed there. Below is the serializers.py

from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Quiz, Question, QuizTakers, Answer, User
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login


class userSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = 'email'


class QuizSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Quiz()
        fields = ('name', 'questions_count', 'description', 'created', 'roll_out')

    def createQuestion(self, validated_data):
        return Question().objects.create_question(**validated_data)


class AnswerSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Answer()
        fields = ('question', 'text', 'is_correct')


class QuestionSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Question()
        fields = ('quiz', 'label', 'order')


class QuizTakerSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = QuizTakers()
        fields = ('user', 'quiz', 'correct_answers', 'completed', 'timestamp')

Regards,

Amitesh

This is not how things work. You don't "add other views" to an existing page. One page equals one view.

I don't know why you are using API views - or DRF - here at all. As the name implies, that's when you're implementing an API, either for external use or to power your page that's built in a front-end framework. Don't use them for standard pages using Django templates: use a standard Django view for that. Again, one view for one page, which includes all the content you need to render that page.
