HTML
Django REST Pandas’ HTML renderer class provides text/html support by calling to_html() on the DataFrame class. The HTML renderer provides the ability to create an interactive view that shares the same URL as your data API. The dataframe is processed by to_html(), then passed to TemplateHTMLRenderer with the following context:
| context variable | description |
|---|---|
table |
Output <table> from to_html() |
name |
View name |
description |
View description |
url |
Current URL Path (without parameters) |
url_params |
URL parameters |
available_formats |
Array of allowed extensions (e.g. 'csv', 'json', 'xlsx') |
wq_chart_type |
Recommended chart type (for use with [wq/chartapp.js], see below) |
As with TemplateHTMLRenderer, the template name is controlled by the view. If you are using DRP together with the wq framework, you can leverage the default mustache/rest_pandas.html template, which is designed for use with the wq/chartapp.js plugin. Otherwise, you will probably want to provide a custom template and/or set template_name on the view.
If you need to do a lot of customization, and/or you don’t really need the entire dataframe rendered in a <table>, you can always create another view for the interface and make the PandasView only handle the API.
Note: For backwards compatibility,
