How to change url path to name in django instead of id-CodePudding

sorry if I ask very a simple question, I'm just starting to learn about WebDev and I have a question about django url and I used rest framework. I have http://localhost:8000/api/projectList/1 and I want to change id to the name in the url, for example http://localhost:8000/api/projectList/project This is the code:

model.py

 class ProjectList(models.Model):
   project = models.CharField(max_length=200)
   project_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
   category = models.CharField(max_length=200)
   academic = models.CharField(max_length=200)

view.py

class ProjectListSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta :
        model = ProjectList
        fields = '__all__'

class ProjectListViewset(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = ProjectList.objects.all()
    serializers_class = ProjectListSerializer

class ProjectListListView(generics.ListAPIView):
    serializer_class = ProjectListSerializer
    def get_queryset(self):
        return ProjectList.objects.all()

class ProjectId(generics.RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView):
    queryset = ProjectList.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ProjectListSerializer

urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path("", include(router.urls)),
    path("projectList/", ProjectListListView.as_view()),
    path("projectList/<int:pk>", ProjectId.as_view()),
]

Thank you, sorry for my simple question and my bad English.

CodePudding user response：

In views and serializer define lookup_field = project, this will override the default id field.

Ps - make sure project is unique and primary key.

also change your url to accept string instead of int(id)

CodePudding user response：

Django Rest Framework ModelViewset doesn't require to declare separate view for detail. In ProjectListListView declare

lookup_field = 'project'

and delete

path("projectList/<int:pk>", ProjectId.as_view()),

from urlpatterns
