Not to pass ID in URL - UpdateApiView - django

Question

I want to make update using my API. For that i am passing id in URL which is pk.
http://localhost:8000/api/manager/update/96
Where 96 is primary key. Now instead of passing id in url i want to pass id in body and update data. My url should look like this
http://localhost:8000/api/manager/update
Views.py
class ManagerUpdateAPIView(APIView):
def post(self, request, pk, *args, **kwrgs):
user = get_object_or_404(User, id=pk)
userprofile = get_object_or_404(UserProfile, user=pk)
serializer1 = EmployeeRegisterSerializer(user, data=request.data)
serializer2 = EmployeeProfileSerializer(userprofile, data=request.data)
user_role = ACLRoles.objects.get(id=4)
if serializer1.is_valid() and serializer2.is_valid():
serializer1.save()
serializer2.save()
return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
print(serializer1.errors)
print(serializer2.errors)
return Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
Serializers.py
class EmployeeProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
fields = [
'user_employee_id',
'user_phone',
'user_payroll_id',
'user_hire_date',
'user_pay_rate',
'user_salaried',
'user_excempt',
'user_groups',
'user_state',
'user_city',
'user_zipcode',
'user_status',
]
class EmployeeRegisterSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
# userprofile = EmployeeProfileSerializer(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['first_name','last_name', 'email',]
How can i update data without passing id in url.

Try this code
class ManagerUpdateAPIView(APIView):
def post(self, request, *args, **kwrgs): #change is here
pk = request.data['pk'] #change is here
user = get_object_or_404(User, id=pk)
userprofile = get_object_or_404(UserProfile, user=pk)
serializer1 = EmployeeRegisterSerializer(user, data=request.data)
serializer2 = EmployeeProfileSerializer(userprofile, data=request.data)
user_role = ACLRoles.objects.get(id=4)
if serializer1.is_valid() and serializer2.is_valid():
serializer1.save()
serializer2.save()
return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
print(serializer1.errors)
print(serializer2.errors)
return Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
and provide pk in your POST payload as
{
"pk":96,
"other_data":"other data of your usual payload"
}
