I'm using Django 2.0
and Django REST Framework
I have created an action method to delete particular object from database
contacts/views.py
class ContactViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = ContactSerializer
permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated, AdminAuthenticationPermission,)
# others actions goes here
@action(methods=['delete'], detail=False, url_path='delete_phone/<phone_pk>/')
def delete_phone(self, request, pk=None):
contact = self.get_object()
print(contact)
print(pk)
print(self.kwargs['phone_pk'])
return Response({'status': 'success'})
apps/urls.py
router.register(r'contacts', ContactViewSet, 'contacts')
api_urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
]
But when I access
DELETE: http://url/api/contacts/delete_phone/1/
It gives page not found
error.
In the error page, there is listing in tried url patterns
api/ ^contacts/delete_phone/<phone_pk>//$ [name='contacts-delete-phone']
api/ ^contacts/delete_phone/<phone_pk>\.(?P<format>[a-z0-9]+)/?$ [name='contacts-delete-phone']
Solved the problem using drf-nested-routers
For those who need it, install the plugin and configure urls.py
from rest_framework_nested import routers
router = routers.SimpleRouter()
router.register(r'contacts', ContactViewSet, 'contacts')
contact_router = routers.NestedSimpleRouter(router, r'contacts', lookup='contact')
contact_router.register(r'phone_number', ContactPhoneNumberViewSet, base_name='contact-phone-numbers')
api_urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
path('', include(contact_router.urls))
]
In case you can't/don't want/whatever install drf-nested-routers
, you could achieve the same by doing:
@action(detail=True,
methods=['delete'],
url_path='contacts/(?P<phone_pk>[^/.]+)')
def delete_phone(self, request, phone_pk, pk=None):
contact = self.get_object()
phone = get_object_or_404(contact.phone_qs, pk=phone_pk)
phone.delete()
return Response(.., status=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)
The trick is to put the regex in url_path
parameter of the decorator and pass it to the decorated method (avoid using just pk
or it will collide with the first pk
Tested with:
Django==2.0.10
djangorestframework==3.9.0
@action(methods=['delete'], detail=False)
def delete_phone(self, request, pk=None):
contact = get_object_or_404(self.get_queryset(), pk=pk)
contact.delete()
return Response({'status': 'success'})
this should work.
