[Django]-Reverse URL by more than one parameter in Django REST Framework

5👍

HyperlinkedModelSerializer uses a single parameter in the lookup_field as of DRF 2.0, so like you, I wasn’t able to use this.

However, with some tricks I picked up on this question I was able to build a ModelSerializer that would have a url field that contained the reverse URL as you describe.

class OrderSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    # Fields, etc
    url = serializers.SerializerMethodField('make_url')

    class Meta:
        model = Order
        # Class info here as usual

    def make_url(self, obj):
        """
        Build URL for Order instance
        """
        # Prepare the IDs you need for the URL reverse
        kwargs = {
            'customer_pk': obj.customer.id,
            'order_id': obj.id,
        }
        url = reverse('api:single_order', kwargs=kwargs)
        return self.context['request'].build_absolute_uri(url)
