Integrating camelcase for Django REST Framework & drf_spectacular

django swagger drf django rest framework drf_spectacular

In Django REST API you usually want to achieve:

Camelcase instead of snake_case for your data:

that is why djangorestframework-camel-case was created

Autogenerated Swagger documentation for your API

I like to use drf_spectacular

However, if you combine these two, types generated by drf_spectacular are still in snake_case.

The following configuration helps to solve the issue:

# settings.py

SPECTACULAR_SETTINGS = {
    # makes params in URLs camelcase for consistency
    'CAMELIZE_NAMES': True,
    # transforms data types and responses
    'POSTPROCESSING_HOOKS': [
        'drf_spectacular.contrib.djangorestframework_camel_case.camelize_serializer_fields'
    ]
}
