Create URL for detailview using DRF Modelviewset

i'm using DRF modelviewset to create an api for users model. Can anyone explain or help how can I pass a url in react-native for the detailview of user. Right now i'm getting the detailview in this manner 127.0.0.1:8000/users/users/2/. But everytime i don't want to pass the id in the url.

models.py

class User(AbstractUser):
    """This Class is used to extend the in-build user model """
    ROLE_CHOICES = (('CREATOR','CREATOR'),('MODERATOR','MODERATOR'),('USERS','USERS'))
    GENDER_CHOICES = (('MALE','MALE'),('FEMALE',"FEMALE"),('OTHER','OTHER'))
    date_of_birth = models.DateField(verbose_name='Date of Birth', null=True)
    profile_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='media/profile_images', verbose_name='Profile Image', default='media/profile_images/default.webp', blank=True)
    bio = models.TextField(verbose_name='Bio')
    role = models.CharField(max_length=10, verbose_name='Role', choices=ROLE_CHOICES, default='USERS')
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=6, verbose_name='Gender', choices=GENDER_CHOICES)

serializers.py

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    following = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)
    followers = serializers.SerializerMethodField(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name','last_name','username','password','email','date_of_birth',
                  'profile_image','bio','role','gender', 'following','followers')
        extra_kwargs = {'is_active':{'write_only':True},
                        'password':{'write_only':True}}

    def create(self, validated_data):
        logger.info('Information Stored!')
        return User.objects.create_user(**validated_data)

    def update(self, *args, **kwargs):
        user = super().update( *args, **kwargs)
        p = user.password
        user.set_password(p)
        user.save()
        return user

views.py

class UserAPI(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    # permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated, TokenHasReadWriteScope]

    def get_queryset(self):
        users = User.objects.all()
        return users

urls.py

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register('users', views.UserAPI, basename='users'),
router.register('following', views.FollowingAPI, basename='following'),


urlpatterns = router.urls

How can i solve this. Need your help please. Thank you

Solution 1:

You can make use of action decorator

Give this a try

class UserAPI(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
   ...

    @action(detail=False)
    def profile(self, request):
        serializer = UserSerializer(request.user)
        return Response(serializer.data)

Now go to 127.0.0.1:8000/users/profile/, you should see the current authenticated user's data.
