I'm following a course on user login and registration and I'm getting this error and I don't know how to fix it detail": "Method \"GET\" not allowed.
urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('users/login/', views.MyTokenObtainPairView.as_view(), name='token_obtain_pair'),
path('users/register/', views.registerUser, name='register'),
path('users/profile/', views.getUserProfile, name="users-profile"),
path('users/', views.getUsers, name="users"),
]
views.py
@api_view(['POST'])
def registerUser(request):
data = request.data
user = User.objects.create(
first_name = data['name'],
username = data['email'],
email = data['email'],
password = make_password(data['password'])
)
serializer = UserSerializerWithToken(user, many=False)
return Response(serializer.data)
serializers.py
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
name = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)
_id = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)
isAdmin = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['id', '_id', 'username', 'email', "name", "isAdmin"]
def get__id(self, obj):
return obj.id
def get_isAdmin(self, obj):
return obj.is_staff
def get_name(self, obj):
name = obj.first_name
if name == '':
name = obj.email
return name
class UserSerializerWithToken(UserSerializer):
token = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['id', '_id', 'username', 'email', "name", "isAdmin", 'token']
def get_token(self, obj):
token = RefreshToken.for_user(obj)
return str(token.access_token)
I'm not sure if this is the problem but I saw someone who said that since in views.py I have the view as @api_view(['POST']) I cant call it in urls.py the way I usually would. I would test that but I dont know of anyother way to do that

As your api is set to accept only the POST method, you can't simply hit the URL into the browser. api_view(['POST'])
Try to run the API in postman using the POST method
https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/views/#api_view
or add this
@api_view(['POST', 'GET'])
def registerUser(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
return Response({'message': 'In get'})
data = request.data
user = User.objects.create(
first_name = data['name'],
username = data['email'],
email = data['email'],
password = make_password(data['password'])
)
serializer = UserSerializerWithToken(user, many=False)
return Response(serializer.data)
CodePudding user response：
As the error says, your register API should be POST, not GET.
If you call your register API with GET method, the above error occurs.
You can simply test it with curl command (assuming runserver on port 8000).
curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/users/register/
this will caouse "Method not allowed" error
curl -d '{"name":"value1", "email":"value2", "password": "value3"}' \
-X POST http://localhost:8000/users/register/
this will work fine
CodePudding user response：
The default method is GET when we call through the browser. To test these endpoints by giving appropriate methods and data is to use rest API clients like
