How to develop a basic outline of an end-to-end Python application using Django, Django Rest Framework (DRF), and Apache Kafka. Below is an example demo application code to get you started:
# 1. Set up Django project
# Create a Django project
django-admin startproject myproject
# Create a Django app
python manage.py startapp myapp
# 2. Install required packages
pip install django djangorestframework kafka-python
# 3. Configure Kafka
# Assuming Kafka is running locally on default ports
# 4. Configure Django settings.py
# Add 'rest_framework' and 'myapp' to INSTALLED_APPS
# Configure Kafka settings if necessary
# 5. Define Django models in models.py (in myapp)
from django.db import models
class Message(models.Model):
content = models.CharField(max_length=255)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.content
# 6. Define DRF serializers in serializers.py (in myapp)
from rest_framework import serializers
from .models import Message
class MessageSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Message
fields = ['id', 'content', 'created_at']
# 7. Define DRF views in views.py (in myapp)
from rest_framework import viewsets
from .models import Message
from .serializers import MessageSerializer
class MessageViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Message.objects.all()
serializer_class = MessageSerializer
# 8. Configure Django URLs in urls.py (in myapp)
from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from .views import MessageViewSet
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'messages', MessageViewSet)
urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
]
# 9. Produce messages to Kafka (producer.py)
from kafka import KafkaProducer
producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='localhost:9092')
def send_message(msg):
producer.send('my-topic', msg.encode())
# Example usage:
send_message("Hello Kafka!")
# 10. Consume messages from Kafka (consumer.py)
from kafka import KafkaConsumer
consumer = KafkaConsumer('my-topic', bootstrap_servers='localhost:9092')
for message in consumer:
print ("%s:%d:%d: key=%s value=%s" % (message.topic, message.partition,
message.offset, message.key,
message.value.decode('utf-8')))
# 11. Run Django server
python manage.py runserver
This setup will provide you with a basic Django project integrated with Django Rest Framework and Kafka. You can extend it further based on your application requirements. Let me know if you need more detailed explanations or assistance with any specific part!
