url namespaces for django rest router urls
from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from . import views
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'products', views.ProductViewSet, basename='product')
urlpatterns = [
path('api/', include(router.urls)),
]
Explanation:
- from django.urls import path, include
: Imports the necessary modules from Django to handle URL routing.
- from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
: Imports the DefaultRouter
class from Django Rest Framework for simplified URL routing for viewsets.
- from . import views
: Imports views from the current Django application.
router = DefaultRouter()
: Initializes aDefaultRouter
object to manage the API URLs for the application.router.register(r'products', views.ProductViewSet, basename='product')
: Registers the viewsetProductViewSet
with the router for the URL pattern 'products'. Thebasename
attribute provides a name for the URL pattern to uniquely identify it in the application. This URL pattern will typically handle actions related to products.urlpatterns
: Defines the list of URL patterns for the Django application.path('api/', include(router.urls))
: Maps the URL pattern 'api/' to include all the URLs registered with therouter
. This line includes all the URLs defined by the router for handling products in the API. Any request to '/api/products/' will be routed to theProductViewSet
viewset for further processing. ```
