I'm working on an API, using django rest framework which is currently in production. The versioning strategy in use is namespace versioning. I would like to switch to acceptheader versioning as it seems to suit the project better.
Is there a way to make the change smoothly without breaking previous API versions.
Versioning is very simple.
Create folder in your app and name it to v1
Like this image:
yourApp > urls.py should be like this:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('v1/', include('api.v1.urls')),
]
Then create urls.py in v1 folder, it should something like this:
from django.urls import path, include
from api.v1.classes.Plan import listPlan
from api.v1.classes.preInvoce import preInvoce
urlpatterns = [
path('plan/list', listPlan.as_view(), name="listPlans"),
path('plan/buy', preInvoce.as_view(), name="preInvoice"),
]
If you want have version 2 you need to create new folder called v2 and have urls.py in it.
and your app urls.py should be like this:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('v1/', include('api.v1.urls')),
path('v2/', include('api.v2.urls')),
]
Put your own and new urls in v2/urls.py
Your final v1 urls like this:
localhost:8000/v1/planList
Your final v2 urls like this:
localhost:8000/v2/newUrlInV2
Both v1 and v2 urls should works correctly.
