Django Rest: A simple filtering view with arguments

You have a Model. You want to sort its instances by a parameter. This parameter should be passed in the url. Here you go.

It is pretty much from docs, I just didn’t find it fast enough in the first time, so I decided to post about it.

A small piece of code, very simple.

What can be easier? Populate a slug field, make a get_absolute_url, make a simple view, add a line to urlpatterns. Right? Well guess again.

So you are casually overriding get_queryset() in a, say, ListView, like this:

def get_queryset(self):
    entries = [x for x in Entry.objects.all() if x.publications]
    return entries

Because you need to sort the Entry table by a reverse M2M relation publications and then BAM!:

Attribute error 'list' object has no attribute 'filter'

Without a trace of the line you made a mistake in…

After submiting data via form you keep getting this annoying ‘Confirm Form Resubmission’ alert from Google Chrome? Here is the solution.
