Usually the work carried on the APIs is done simultaneously on the consumers and the API, this require a contract between them to ensure each part adheres to the requirements: a contract.

APIs should start from the most important part, and the cheaper to make: The documentation.

The purpose of the Django app is to generate a mock API from the RAML documentation.

Install the package.

Add a RAML_FILE setting in the settings file with the path to the documentation. E.g:

RAML_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'api.raml')

Add the stub path for the urls.py file:

urlpatterns = [
    url('^/v1/', include('django_contract.urls', namespace='docs_v1')),
]

• Generate forms to handle defined payloads.
• Validate fields using schema definition.
• Upload package to pypi.
