From 3cd15fb1713dfc49e1bf1fd48045ca3ae5654e18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Melnikow Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2014 16:57:50 -0500 Subject: Router: Do not automatically adjust lookup_regex when trailing_slash is True BREAKING CHANGE When trailing_slash is set to True, the router no longer will adjust the lookup regex to allow it to include periods. To simulate the old behavior, the programmer should specify `lookup_regex = '[^/]+'` on the viewset. https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/pull/1328#issuecomment-31517099 --- docs/api-guide/routers.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/api-guide') diff --git a/docs/api-guide/routers.md b/docs/api-guide/routers.md index f3beabdd..6b4ae6db 100644 --- a/docs/api-guide/routers.md +++ b/docs/api-guide/routers.md @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ This behavior can be modified by setting the `trailing_slash` argument to `False Trailing slashes are conventional in Django, but are not used by default in some other frameworks such as Rails.

For a more restrictive (or lenient) lookup pattern, set the `lookup_field_regex` attribute on the viewset. For example, you can limit the lookup to valid UUIDs: class MyModelViewSet(mixins.RetrieveModelMixin, viewsets.GenericViewSet): lookup_field = 'my_model_id' -- cgit v1.2.3
