A few generic views under one URL - django

Question

I'm facing a issue with setting up a few generic views on this same certain URL. I would like to have a modeled my API as below:
GET /cars/ <- car list
POST /cars/ <- add new car
GET /cars/uuid/ <- get particular car
PUT /cars/uuid/ <- edit particular car
DELETE /cars/uuid/ <- delete specific car
So finally my issue is that the first include in urlconfig is able to perform the HTTP method, on rest of them I'm always getting "Method Not Allowed:". In above example it's occurs for PUT and DELETE. Is it possible to resolve URL as above or should I add prefixes like /cars/get/uuid?
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('', CarListApi.as_view(), name='list'),
path('', CarCreateApi.as_view(), name='create'),
path('<uuid:uuid>/', CarDeleteApi.as_view(), name='delete'),
path('<uuid:uuid>/', CarUpdateApi.as_view(), name='update'),
path('<uuid:uuid>/', CarDetailApi.as_view(), name='detail'),
]
partial views.py
class CarUpdateApi(generics.UpdateAPIView,
generics.GenericAPIView):
permission_classes = (IsOwnerOrReadOnly,)
lookup_field = 'uuid'
http_method_names = ['delete', 'get', 'post', 'put']
#extend_schema_serializer(component_name="CarUpdateInputSerializer")
class InputSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Car
fields = ['plate', 'make', 'model', 'uuid']
#extend_schema(request=InputSerializer, responses={201: InputSerializer})
def put(self, request, uuid):
serializer = self.InputSerializer(data=request.data, context={'request': request})
if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True):
car = car_update(serializer.validated_data, uuid)
return Response(self.InputSerializer(car).data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
class CarDeleteApi(generics.DestroyAPIView,
generics.GenericAPIView):
http_method_names = ['delete', 'get', 'post', 'put']
#extend_schema_serializer(component_name='CarDeleteInputSerializer')
class InputSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Car
fields = ['uuid']
def get_serializer_class(self):
return self.InputSerializer
def delete(self, request, uuid, *args, **kwargs):
serializer = self.InputSerializer(data=request.data)
if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True) and car_delete(uuid):
return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
Any ideas how to fix this issue?

The url pattern has to have only the urls, and in the views you separated the business logic for the http methods. On urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('', CarApi.as_view(), name='car'),
path('<uuid:uuid>/', SpecificApi.as_view(), name='specific'),
]
and then in the views, something like:
class CarApi(APIView):
def get(self, request):
# logic for get and return car list
def post(self, request):
# logic for add card
