views.py:

from .models import Classname
from .serializers import ClassSerializer, UserSerializer
from rest_framework import generics, permissions, renderers
from rest_framework.decorators import api_view
from .permissions import IsOwnerOrReadOnly
from rest_framework.response import Response
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from rest_framework.reverse import reverse


@api_view(('GET',))
def api_root(request, format=None):
    return Response({
        'users': reverse('userlist', request=request, format=format),
        'fab': reverse('classlist', request=request, format=format)
    })
class ClassList(generics.ListCreateAPIView):
    queryset = Classname.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ClassSerializer
    permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,)

    def perform_create(self, serializer):
        serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    fab = self.get_object()
    return Response(fab.highlighted)

urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import url
from rest_framework import renderers
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.api_root),
    url(r'^classlist/$', views.ClassList.as_view(), name = 'classlist'),

    url(r'^classdetail/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', views.ClassDetail.as_view(), name = 'classdetail'),
    url(r'^userlist/$', views.UserList.as_view(), name='userlist'),
    url(r'^userdetail/$', views.UserDetail.as_view(), name='userdetail'),

When I'm trying to add 'api_root' view in my views.py file it shows above error. As I'm also using namespacing in my urls.py I have no idea why it throws this error?

Please help me to resolve it....

Thanks! in advance....

Answer 1

Try including the namespace you are using when you include your urls.py.

reverse('how:userlist', request=request, format=format),
