how to get user profile based on username?

How can i get the user profile based on his username not id , i tried with only slug_filed it shows me that there is no username choice , and i made this get object method but it didn't work

views.py

class ProfileDetail(DetailView):
    model = Profile
    template_name = 'profile.html'
    slug_field = "username"

    def get_object(self):
        username = self.kwargs.get('username')
        return get_object_or_404(User, username=User.username)

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from PIL import Image

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    bio = models.TextField()
    picture = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pics')

    def __str__(self):
       return str(self.user)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
       super().save(*args, **kwargs)

urls.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from users.views import register, UpdateUserView, ProfileDetail
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views


urlpatterns = [

    path('', include('core.urls')),
    path('register', register, name="register"),
    path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
    path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='users/login.html'), name='login'),
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='users/logout.html'), name='logout'),
    path('settings', UpdateUserView.as_view(), name='settings'),

Your slug field should be like this.

class ProfileDetail(DetailView):
    model = Profile
    template_name = 'profile.html'
    slug_field = "user__username"

And you don't need to override the get_object method also.
