drf-nested-routers parent_prefix and lookup

Is there any documentation on what parent_prefix and lookup and mean/ what they should be set to on a NestedSimpleRouter?

Hi, the DRF documentation contains information about prefix and lookup: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/routers#custom-routers

What about parent_prefix? I do not see that term mentioned on the page.

parent_prefix exists only in drf-nested-routers, it's the prefix that was passed to the parent_router. On Jun 26, 2014 4:39 PM, "Alex Rothberg" [email protected] wrote:

On my wishlist is this parent_prefix to be grabbed automatically from the parent router, but time has been short even for docs. Sorry for that.

Once I nest my routers and get: http://host/api/parents/parentID/children/

Can I still do ordering, search, filter on children? http://host/api/parents/parentID/children?search=someSearch

Is there special configuration I have to setup?

yes, with the apropriate configurations on the viewset/serializer

do you have a sample appropriate config that I can see? How does this differ from doing un nested for the viewset/serializer

No difference - the only config is what you would usually do for a search filter to work
