DRF: How to use urls with UUID-CodePudding

So, I would like top stop ursing urlpatterns and just use router. But instead of using ID of an object I'm using UUID instead and I'm using it with urlpatterns and dont't find some way to use it with routers. this is my current model:

class Board(models.Model):
    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=False, null=False)

this is my core app urls.py:

...

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'boards', BoardViewSet)
router.register(r'y', yViewSet)
router.register(r'z', zViewSet, basename='z')


urlpatterns = [
    path('', include(router.urls)),
    path('board-list/<uuid:pk>/', BoardViewSet.as_view({'get': 'list'}), name='boards'),
]

and this is the project urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from core.urls import router as api_router

routes = []
routes.extend(api_router.urls)

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/', include((routes, 'board_microservice'), namespace='v1')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

the application usage is ok, but I have some troubles with test. i.e: this works well:

    url = reverse('v1:board-list')

    response = api_client().get(
        url
    )

and it isn't working:

board = baker.make(Board)
url = reverse('v1:board-list', kwargs={"pk": board.id})
response = api_client().get(url)

I receive

django.urls.exceptions.NoReverseMatch: Reverse for 'board-list' with keyword arguments

and I think I can replace urlpatterns by router to solve it and turns it more simple

There is any way to do it with router?

CodePudding user response：

Board_list is not what you want to call... Try board_get instead.

Board list takes no argument. But get does.. To get a particular board.

CodePudding user response：

You haven't shared your view, but it seems you are using a ModelViewSet and you seem to be looking for the retrieve endpoint rather than list (judging from using a pk). If so then you want to use -detail instead of -list:

url = reverse('v1:board-detail', kwargs={"pk": board.id})
