Change default Django REST Framework home page title

Question

I am following the article to set up a new Djangon REST framework project. I got it working but I would like to change the default home page title from Django REST Framework v3.3.2 to my own, I am sure it's just a setting somewhere but it didn't seem obvious which one, any insights will be appreciated. Thanks.

UPDATE Based on the hints from @macro and this article, I got it to work with api.html. Thanks.

Answer 1

After finding this answer - found it finally in the docs. In case anyone is searching - I recommend checking out this browsable api section in the docs.

From the docs:

To customize the default style, create a template called rest_framework/api.html that extends from rest_framework/base.html.

A sample file could be (templates/rest_framework/api.html):

{% extends "rest_framework/base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}

{% block branding %}
    <a class="navbar-brand" rel="nofollow" href="#">
        {% trans 'My new title' %}
    </a>
{% endblock %}

From the code, it looks like it's actually not a setting. You'll need to override the 'branding' block in the base template with your own content.

Basically you will need to make a copy of Django REST Framework's 'base.html' template file in your project's template directory with the same relative path, which will cause it to be loaded instead of DRF's template, and replace the content of that block template tag with your branding.
