Register your Django router

Question

When I use route.register without base_name like;

route.register(r'codes', SmsCodeViewset)

An error occurred;

AssertionError: basename argument not specified, and could not automatically determine the name from the viewset, as it does not have a .queryset attribute.

When I use route.register(r'codes', SmsCodeViewset, bose_name="") there is no error, may I ask why?

Answer 1

I was checking my endpoints and I don't have base name in any of them.

from app import views
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'states', views.StateSet)

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


class StateSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = State.objects.all()
    serializer_class = StateSerializer
