Django class-based view: How do I pass additional parameters to the as_view method?

Question

I have a custom class-based view

# myapp/views.py
from django.views.generic import *

class MyView(DetailView):
    template_name = \'detail.html\'
    model

If your urlconf looks something like this:

url(r'^(?P<slug>[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/$', MyView.as_view(), name = 'my_named_view')

then the slug will be available inside your view functions (such as 'get_queryset') like this:

self.kwargs['slug']
