How to pass additional parameters to the as_view method in a Python Django class-based view?
To pass additional parameters to the as_view method in a Python Django class-based view, we can use the slug property.
For instance, we write
from django.views.generic import DetailView
class MyView(DetailView):
template_name = 'detail.html'
model = MyModel
slug = None
def get_object(self, queryset=None):
return queryset.get(slug=self.slug)
to create the MyView view class.
In the get_object view method, we get the slug value from self.slug.
