DJANGO,DRF:request id returning a NONE value instead the user object

i want to create a follower option in django using DRF so here my models.py 

class Connect(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, unique = True, related_name = 'rel_from_set',on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    following = models.ManyToManyField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,  related_name = 'follwed_by')
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.following.all().count())

urls.py

url(r'^conn/(?P<id>\d+)', ConnectApi),

serializer.py

class ConnectSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model=Connect
        fields=('user','following')

views.py

@api_view(['GET','POST'])
def ConnectApi(request,id):
    user_id=request.POST.get('id')
    print(user_id)
    # user_id=request.GET['id']
    # action=request.POST.get('action')
    if user_id :
    # if user_id and action:

        try:
            user1=User.objects.get(id=user_id)
            if user1 :
                Connect.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user,
                                                following=user1)
            else:
                Connect.objects.filter(user=request.user,
                                        following=user).delete()
            return JsonResponse({'status':'ok'})
        except:
            return JsonResponse({'status':'ki'})
    return JsonResponse({'status':'ko'})

but whenever i fired up the url 

http://127.0.0.1:8000/connect/conn/2

this is the response

{"status": "ko"}

and in the terminal i could see "NONE " for print(user_id) command

i don't understand where i have done the mistake and i dont think if this is the best practice to make followers function if you know one please let me know

You are passing the id through url and it's directly available inside the view function. So, you don't want to query it from somewhere else

So, use this,


@api_view(['GET', 'POST'])
def ConnectApi(request, id):
    user_id = id
    print(user_id)
    # your code
