Quickstart

Install the latest version:

pip install django-model-path-converter

Import `register_model_converter and your model in your urls.py:

from model_path_converter import register_model_converter
from .models import MyModel

Register a converter for your model:

register_model_converter(MyModel)

Use the new converter in your path definitions:

path('<my_model:obj>/', views.my_view, name='my-view')

Your view my_view will now receive a MyModel instance as argument.

register_model_converter accepts four additional, optional arguments:

• name (str) – name to register the converter as
• field (str) – name of the lookup field
• base – base path converter, either by name or as class (optional, defaults to django.urls.converter.IntConverter`)
• queryset – a custom queryset to use (optional, defaults to model.objects.all())
