Make Django Rest Api User Specific (get_queryset) - django

Question

I want to make a Django rest api that is user specific so that I do /username at the end of the url.
Models:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
age = models.IntegerField()
description = models.CharField(max_length=300)
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = 'User Profiles'
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_data(sender, update_fields, created, instance, **kwargs):
if created:
user = instance
profile = UserProfile.objects.create(user=user, age=18, description='No Description')
class Notes(models.Model):
note = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
parent_user = models.OneToOneField(UserProfile, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = 'Notes'
def __str__(self):
return self.note
Serializers:
class NoteSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Notes
fields = ('id', 'note', 'parent_user')
urls:
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register('notes', views.UserNoteView)
urlpatterns = [
path('', include(router.urls)),
]
views:
class NoteView(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
http_method_names = ['get', 'post', 'put', 'delete', 'patch']
queryset = Notes.objects.all()
serializer_class = NoteSerializer
class UserNoteView(NoteView):
def get_queryset(self):
return self.request.parent_user.Notes.all()
My problem is that I can't do for example /William which is the name of my user, and user profile. Someone that knows this must be able to help!

Answer 1

Your notes model is incorrect. Change OneToOneField to ForeignKey. You can change it as below
class Notes(models.Model):
note = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
parent_user = models.ForeignKey(
UserProfile, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="notes")
def __str__(self):
return "{note}".format(note=self.note)
Now, change your viewset as below
class UserNoteView(NoteView):
def get_queryset(self):
return self.request.user.userprofile.notes.all()
# or
return Notes.objects.filter(parent_user__user=self.request.user)
