Re: Change the default route of a view

If you are using DRF with normal URLs you just create a view that inherits from the delete, update and retrieve mixins. Something like this should work:

from rest_framework import generics, mixins, permissions

User = get_user_model()


class UserProfileChangeAPIView(generics.RetrieveAPIView,
                               mixins.DestroyModelMixin,
                               mixins.UpdateModelMixin):
    permission_classes = (
        permissions.IsAuthenticated,
    )
    serializer_class = UserProfileChangeSerializer

    def get_object(self):
        return self.request.user

    def delete(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.destroy(request, *args, **kwargs)

    def put(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.update(request, *args, **kwargs)

You need to import the get_user_model and the UserProdilfChangeSerializer (or whatever you called your serializer for the profile).

Hi Andrea,

So, I'm getting the user that way, I'm in doubt is how to mount the routes to an account view, where you have the retrieve, update and delete of the current user.

Hi Fernando,

In DRF even with token authentication you will be able to get the currently logged in user via the user object on the request. So request.user will be the user doing the request.

If you for example want to have an endpoint that is for the current user you could just check the request.user to see which user is doing the request. Then you don't need to use the id from the url.

I think I understood about the rest, the right one to edit for example would be to have the route of type PUT passing the token OAuth2 in the route and there I look for the user owner of the token? Or the user ID and check if the authenticated user is the same as the last ID?

you can probably do this with overriding a few things, but for me, your use case has some major problems.  you're effectively breaking away from the basics of REST.

If you want to implement some sort of non-sequential identifiers for users/resources, use UUIDs.  Any token passed in the headers should be used for auth only, not contain explicit routing values.

Hello, I'm using Django Rest Framework, I was wondering if you have how to change the default url of an endpoint in a view? In case it is a view of account where I wanted the retrieve method to be without / {id} this also for the delete and edit because I will identify the user by the token passed in the header.
