I've been building a project with Django Rest Framework (DRF), it's my first time using anything Django-related. Does anyone know whether new versions of Django tend to drop right into DRF, or whether DRF has to do some work to be compatible with a new version?
I ask because I like the sound of the fulltext search mentioned in another comment, because it would mean I don't have to install a search engine to support that feature. So I'd switch to Postgres and start using Beta 1 pretty soon, if DRF will just-work with it.
- oliwarner 10y agoI really don't mean this in as aggressive a way as it might read without this prefix but... Why don't you just try it?
- vosper 10y agoI guess I could try grabbing the beta with pip, and I suppose there's probably some test suite for DRF that I could find and run. The thing I don't know for sure is that if the test suite passes then I'm good to go.
- StavrosK 10y agoThings generally tend to break loudly, so if your test suite (for your app) passes, you should be good to go.
- orf 10y agoYes, they generally work really well. You could give it a spin and report any issues you may find in the alpha to the DRF team :)
- pythonaut_16 10y agoI would try it in development, run your tests, etc. But wait to deploy anything to production until DRF officially supports it (which should be pretty much at launch, DRF should be working with the beta now to ensure compatibility)
- scrollaway 10y agoDRF and the Django team work pretty closely together. It's a well-supported project.
