✅

ViewSets allows you to combine ListView and DetailView into one view.
So you don’t need two different views to handle the both actions.

Now if you want to use slug in the url instead of the id by default, you just have to specify lookup_field in the serializer and the view like this :

serializers.py

class ProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    image = serializers.ImageField(required=True)
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = ("name", "description", "slug", "id", "price", "stock", "image", "category")
        lookup_field = 'slug'
        extra_kwargs = {
            'url': {'lookup_field': 'slug'}
        }

views.py

class ProductViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Product.objects.all().order_by('name')
    serializer_class = ProductSerializer
    lookup_field = 'slug'

urls.py

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'', ProductViewSet)

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

Now you can query http://localhost:8000/ for products list and http://localhost:8000/product_slug for product detail with product_slug as slug.
