HTTP Methods

Defining operations

An "Operation" can be one of the HTTP "methods":

• GET
• POST
• PUT
• DELETE
• PATCH
• ... and more

Django Ninja comes with a decorator for each operation:

@api.get("/path")
def get_operation(request):
    ...

@api.post("/path")
def post_operation(request):
    ...

@api.put("/path")
def put_operation(request):
    ...

@api.delete("/path")
def delete_operation(request):
    ...

@api.patch("/path")
def patch_operation(request):
    ...

See the Operations parameters reference docs for information on what you can pass to any of these decorators.

Handling multiple methods

If you need to handle multiple methods with a single function for a given path, you can use the api_operation decorator:

@api.api_operation(["POST", "PATCH"], "/path")
def mixed(request):
    ...

This feature can also be used to implement other HTTP methods that don't have corresponding django-ninja methods, such as HEAD or OPTIONS.

@api.api_operation(["HEAD", "OPTIONS"], "/path")
def mixed(request):
    ...
