model.(Optional) The following step is only needed if you have django-tastypie installed to create a REST API for your project and would like to have API endpoints for
django-organisms
.Add the following to your project's
urls.py
file:# There are probably already other imports here, such as: # from django.conf.urls import url, patterns, include # If you have not already done so, import the tastypie API: from tastypie.api import Api # Import the OrganismResource: from organisms.api import OrganismResource # If you have not already done so, initialize your API and # add the OrganismResource to it v0_api = Api() v0_api.register(OrganismResource()) # In the urlpatterns, include the urls for this api: urlpatterns = patterns('', ... (r'^api/', include(v0_api.urls)) )
This app includes a management command
management/commands/organisms_create_or_update.py
,
which can be used to populate the organisms table in the database.
It takes 3 arguments:
- taxonomy_id
- scientific_name
- common_name
For example, to populate the Human object in the database, we would enter:
python manage.py organisms_create_or_update --taxonomy_id=9606 --scientific_name="Homo sapiens" --common_name="Human"
