Question

what\'s different about list_route and detail_route in django-rest-framework?
if I want to get 1 in url xxx/book

Answer 1

detail_route, is for an instance. What I mean, method generated with detail route, will be appended after an instance method, i.e. a retrieve. {prefix}/{lookup}/

Check : django drf router doc

If your model is books and 1 is the id:

class ParkingViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
serializer_class = BookSerializer

def retrieve(self, request, pk=None):
    # Here pk will be 1.
    queryset = Book.objects.get(pk=pk)         
    serializer = BookSerializer(queryset)                         
    return Response({'msg':"",'data':serializer.data, 'status':'OK'})

If xxx is your instance, you should user url_path variable to change default url. Something like this:

@detail_route(methods=['get'], url_path='(books/?P\d+)')

Then in the method, you will have num as a parmeter

urls.py, will be generated with default router:

from django.conf.urls import url, include                                        
from recharge_card import views                                                  
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter                                 

# Create a router and register our viewsets with it.                             
router = DefaultRouter()                                                         
router.register(r'xxx', views.XxxViewSet, base_name="xxx")  

urlpatterns = [  
    url(r'^api/', include(router.urls)),                                         
]
