Django Rest Framework: 'function' object has no attribute 'as_view'

Question

I\'ve been trying for a while to get a ModelResource or a View working using the Django Rest Framework. I\'m following the examples but the code in the examples is not worki

Answer 1

I am also getting this error but in my case i solved it with following idea.

That error usually happens if you try to override a class. That sometimes happens if you copy&paste code and forget to change e.g. the class name. But in my case it was little different

If you apply @login_required to a class, you will receive the error message:

‘function’ object has no attribute ‘as_view’

So, how should you decorate classes in Django now? For class-based views, you have two options of decorating your classes.

1) Decorating the URLconf

2) Decorating the class

Both options leads to the same result - restricting the access to a class only for logged users. The difference between the options is how the decorator is applied to the class instance.Refer this page for decorators implementation
