Calling an API app from another app inside a Django Project

[Daniel Breves]

Hi, there!

I'm new in DRF and I created a Django project with two apps: one for a REST
API and one for the frontend. I've created the API and it's working good,
but now, I'd like to call the API from the frontend app.

My code:

views.py from api:

class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""
API endpoint that allows users to be viewd or edited.
"""
queryset = User.objects.all().order_by('-date_joined')
serializer_class = UserSerializer

views.py from frontend:

def home(request):

user_view_set = UserViewSet.as_view({'get':'list'})
response = user_view_set(request)
users = response.data
return render(request, 'index.html', {"users":users})

Doing that I can obtain the data, but it's in a strange format. So, I think
that I'm doing something wrong. I'd like to obtain the JSON response.

Can someone please help me with that?

thank you very much!

I've just realized that I'm receiving a list of OrderedDict and that's ok.
But am I doing it the right way?

Depends what you want to archive. If you just want the users, you could do:

users = User.objects.all()

Remember to import User model

First of all, thank you!! So... in this case, is it a good practice to
create a class that talks to the models and that will be called for both
API and frontend? Otherwise, I'll repeat a lot of code.
