Accessing Primary Key from URL in Django View Class
In a class-based view, all of the elements from the URL are placed into self.args (if they're non-named groups) or self.kwargs (for named groups). So, for your view, you can use self.kwargs['pk'].
to access the primary key in viewspost =
Class_name.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs.get('pk'))
This is an example based on django restframework to retrieve an object using pk in url:
views.py
class ContactListView(generics.ListAPIView): queryset = Profile.objects.all() serializer_class = UserContactListSerializer def get(self, request, pk, *args, **kwargs): contacts = Profile.objects.get(pk=pk) serializer = UserContactListSerializer(contacts) return Response(serializer.data)urls.py
url(r'^contact_list/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', ContactListView.as_view())
