<h2>Part 1: Problem Description, Requirements, and Overall Architecture</h2>
<p>In this article-series, we will discuss how to design a Django API that can handle multiple user types using a clean architecture approach. We will explore the problem description, requirements, and the overall architecture and design.</p>
<p>To address the challenge of managing resource access based on multiple roles, we will introduce the BaseVisitViewSet and EndpointPermissionProvider classes.</p>
<h2>Part 2: The BaseV1ViewSet and Related Mixins</h2>
<p>In Part 2, we will dive into the BaseV1ViewSet in Django, which serves as a wrapper around standardized and injected logic. This facilitates the development of the API and ensures consistency across different endpoints.</p>
<p>We will explore the ActAsRoleMixin and MultiSerializerRoleMixin mixins, which allow us to customize the behavior of the viewset based on the user’s role. Additionally, we will discuss the RequestResponseLogging class, which can help with troubleshooting and performance monitoring.</p>
<h2>Part 3: Managing Resource Access with VisitFilterMixin and PermissionFilterMixin</h2>
<p>Part 3 focuses on managing resource access in our Django API. We will explore the VisitFilterMixin, which enables us to filter resources based on the visiting user’s role. We will also discuss the PermissionFilterMixin and VisitPermissionFilter, which provide additional control over resource access.</p>
<p>By following this article-series, you will gain valuable insights into designing a Django API for multiple roles. You will learn how to leverage clean architecture principles and various mixins to streamline your API development process. Stay tuned for more in-depth discussions and potential improvements to our solution.</p>
