Django Rest Framework URL pattern with parameter

Question

I have an Angular/DRF application.

What I want is to send an object to my backend to process it:

 var data = {'url': url, 'name': name}
 return this.http.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/record/json=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(data)))

Because my data as URL in it, I URI encode it to escape the "/"

Then in DRF this my urls.py:

path('record/<str:music_details>', record_views.Record.as_view(), name='record'),

And my views.py:

class Record(View):

    def get(self, request):
        json_string = request.query_params['json']
        data = json.loads(json_string)
        print(data)

I have nothing printing in my console, I assume my url path is wrong, how should I fix it?

Your request looks to have an extra /api preceding the record part of the url. Unless you're explicitly adding this somewhere in django, I don't think you need it — PirateNinjas

I need it because every incoming requests strarting with /api are redirected to this urls.py — HomeAlone

Solution 1:

Send query parameter after ? like:

var data = {'url': url, 'name': name}
return this.http.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/record?json=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(data)))

Modify urls.py:

path('record', record_views.Record.as_view(), name='record'),

and fetch from query as:

json_string = request.GET.get('json')

Solution 2:

Send data with json= like:

var data = {'url': url, 'name': name}
return this.http.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/record/" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(data)))

and modify get method to fetch data as:

class Record(View):

    def get(self, request, music_details):
        data = json.loads(music_details)
        print(data)

First is working fine. What's the diference between the two?

In solution 1, data is being sent in query string or get method, which is in key:value form and starts after ?. In solution 2, data included as URI itself which are called query parameters.
