Django CLI Sessions

Personal project to make a CLI session client that can be used in ipython shells.

Example usage:

from django_cli_sessions.django_cli_sessions import DjangoCLISessionClientWithEndpoints
client = DjangoCLISessionWithEndpoints(
    url="http://localhost/",
    init_path="api/auth/init/",
    login_path="api/auth/login/",
    username="username",
    password="password",
    filepath="/path/to/json/with/urls.json",
)

The client can now be used to make requests to your application, this is an example for a hypothetical endpoint giving details about a user:

endpoint_details = client.endpoints_by_app["auth"]["auth-user-detail"]
path = client.format_path_variables(endpoint_details, {"pk": 1})
response = client.django_request(
    method="get",
    path=path,
)

Creating the JSON file with URLs:

(This requires django-extensions)

./manage.py show_urls --format=pretty-json > urls.json

Note: The first line in urls.json might be something like 2025-12-01 15:29.40 [info ] debug mode: False, which is from the management command, make sure to remove it before trying to parse the JSON.
