django rest framework RetrieveUpdateAPIView - django

Question

I come from Vietnam.
I want to update User by Django Rest FrameWork. I can update User by 'pk'. But I can't update User by 'username'. I hope that everyone help me. Thank you so much.
serializers.py
class UserDetailSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
url_update = serializers.HyperlinkedIdentityField(view_name='api:UserUpdateAPIView', lookup_field='username')
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('url_update', 'username', 'email', 'user_permissions', 'is_staff', 'groups', 'last_login')
class UserUpdateSerialier(serializers.ModelSerializer):
password = serializers.CharField(
style={'input_type': 'password'}
)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('pk', 'username', 'password')
def update(self, instance, validated_data):
instance.username = validated_data.get('username', instance.username)
instance.set_password(validated_data.get('password', instance.password))
instance.save()
return instance
views.py
class UserDetailAPIView(generics.RetrieveAPIView):
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
serializer_class = UserDetailSerializer
#queryset = User.objects.all()
lookup_field = 'username'
def get_object(self):
username = self.kwargs["username"]
return get_object_or_404(User, username=username)
class UserUpdateAPIView(generics.RetrieveUpdateAPIView):
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
#queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserUpdateSerialier
def get_object(self):
username = self.kwargs["username"]
return get_object_or_404(User, username=username)
def put(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return self.update(request, *args, **kwargs)

Answer 1

Try editing your view like this,
class UserUpdateAPIView(generics.RetrieveUpdateAPIView):
permission_classes = (permissions.IsAdminUser,)
serializer_class = UserUpdateSerialier
lookup_field = 'username'
def get_object(self):
username = self.kwargs["username"]
return get_object_or_404(User, username=username)
def put(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return self.update(request, *args, **kwargs)

Answer 2

You need to set lookup_field = 'username' to the UserUpdateAPIView just like you did with the UserDetailAPIView
