I am attempting to use drf-nested-routers to create a simple nested Django REST API given the following models:
# models.py
class Podcast(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=125)
class Episode(models.Model):
podcast = models.ForeignKey(Podcast, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=125)
Based on the readme domains/nameservers example, I have the following routers defined, expecting a URL structure like:
/podcasts[/{podcast_pk}[/episodes[/{episode_pk}]]]
# urls.py
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'podcasts', PodcastViewSet)
episode_router = routers.NestedDefaultRouter(
router, r'podcasts', lookup='podcast'
)
episode_router.register(
r'episodes', EpisodeViewSet, basename='podcast-episodes'
)
# serializers.py
class PodcastSerializer(HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
episodes = HyperlinkedIdentityField(
view_name='podcast-episodes-list',
lookup_url_kwarg='podcast_pk'
)
class Meta:
model = Podcast
fields = '__all__'
class EpisodeSerializer(NestedHyperlinkedModelSerializer):
parent_lookup_kwargs = {
'podcast_pk': 'podcast__pk',
}
class Meta:
model = Episode
fields = '__all__'
# exclude = ('url',) # works without reference to self
# views.py
class PodcastViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Podcast.objects.all()
serializer_class = PodcastSerializer
class EpisodeViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = EpisodeSerializer
def get_queryset(self):
return Episode.objects.filter(
podcast=self.kwargs['podcast_pk'],
)
Accessing /podcasts/1/episodes/, when url is included, raises the following error:
Exception Type: ImproperlyConfigured at /podcasts/1/episodes/
Exception Value: Could not resolve URL for hyperlinked
relationship using view name "episode-detail". You may
have failed to include the related model in your API,
or incorrectly configured the `lookup_field` attribute
on this field.
Why does it not identify the correct view name, or is there something else obvious I am missing
