Django cannot response json data-CodePudding

I create device function in views.py for return json data like this.

views.py

def device(request):
    
    responseData = {
        'id': 4,
        'name': 'Test Response',
        'roles' : ['Admin','User']
    }

    return JsonResponse(responseData)

I set url path to views.device() in urls.py like this.

urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('device/', views.device()),
]

when I save project it show error like this. How to fix it?

  File "C:\Users\MAX\Django\test_project\test\test\urls.py", line 23, in <module>
    path('device/', views.device()),
TypeError: device() missing 1 required positional argument: 'request'

CodePudding user response：

You are calling your device function when your urls are loaded without the request.

Your urls just need to know what function to call.

Instead of having path('device/', views.device()), it should be path('device/', views.device),
