I'm working with Django REST Framework and I want to reuse a ViewSet in two places, but to do that I need to pass some information to the ViewSet class.
This is what my urls.py file currently looks like:
from rest_framework.routers import SimpleRouter
from .views import ContentController
router = SimpleRouter(trailing_slash=False)
router.register("/?", ContentController, basename="content")
urlpatterns = router.urls
But what I'd really like to do is something like this:
router.register("/?", ContentController(type="books"), basename="content")
This way I can reuse the same ContentController in multiple routes, but with a different value for the type variable. But the register method only seems to take a class, not an instance.
Similar questions are all about URL parameters, and that's not related to my question.
