####################### Integration with Django ####################### Integration with `Django <https://www.djangoproject.com>`_ is via `baldr <https://github.com/timsavage/baldr>`_. Baldr includes: * ResourceField for saving a resource to a Django model. * Field resolver for Django models, this allows you to map between Django models and Odin resources. * RESTful API implementation using Odin resources. ResourceField ============= This is a field that handles serialisation/deserialisation of Odin resources from a database. Data is serialised as JSON. It is basically a Django :class:`django.db.models.fields.TextField` with the additional required option *resource*. Example:: class MyModel(models.Model): my_resource = ResourceField(MyResource) Field resolver ============== By including baldr as an application in Django the field resolver is automatically registered. From there you can write mappings between Django models and Odin resources. Set either the to_resource or from_resource fields to be Django models and that's it. RESTful API =========== One of the powerful features of Odin is validation of data that is loaded. This makes Odin perfect for handling RESTful API's. :todo: Expand on capabilities.
