Manage URLs

Finally, let's create urls to access our ViewSet.

Register your URLs

First, let's create the urls.py file and add a router:

backend/apps/event/urls.py

from rest_framework import routers
from .api_views import EventViewSet

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register('event', EventViewSet, basename='event')

urlpatterns = router.urls

Then, register your URLs in the urls.py file of the project:

backend/config/urls.py

from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path("api/event/", include("apps.event.urls", namespace="event_api")),
]

Test your URLs

The DefaultRouter automatically creates these URLs (we have 2 times event, because it's the name of the app and the name of the model):

HTTP Method and URL	View (or action)	Description	(1)	(2)	(3)
GET /api/event/event/	list	Get the list of all events defined by the queryset	✅	❌	❌
POST /api/event/event/	create	Create a new Event object	✅	❌	✅
GET /api/event/event/<id>/	retrieve	Get the data of one event by its id	✅	✅	❌
PUT /api/event/event/<id>/	update	Modify the data of an event	✅	✅	✅
DELETE /api/event/event/<id>/	destroy	Remove the event from the database	✅	✅	❌

note

• (1) Views that call the has_permission method of the Permission class (all)
• (2) Views that call the has_object_permission method of the Permission class (details=True).
• (3) Views that call the validate method of the Serializer class.

You can now use these URLs in the front end, or directly in the browser to test your API!
