在 django rest 框架中返回生成的 HTML 文件

Question

I have the following view, which takes in the data passed in by the user and returns an HTML file (folium map).

I have three questions:

firstly, this view raises an error, in the browser.

TypeError at /locations/
'LocationInfo' object is not iterable

and second, How do I return the generated HTML file to the user?

third, I want that when the user inputs the data, the logic will run and return said HTML file.

My business logic here uses the values inputted by the user to plot the map and generates an HTML file saved in the directory, I can return the path to said file, or I have made another option that opens the HTML in another window automatically.

# views.py 

from rest_framework.viewsets import ModelViewSet
from .serializers import LocationInfoSerializer

from .models import LocationInfo
from three_Positions_plotting.app import main


def map_info_to_logic(gdt1, gdt2, uav):
    html_file = main(gdt1=gdt1, gdt2=gdt2, uav=uav)
    return html_file


class LocationInfoViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    queryset = LocationInfo.objects.latest('date_added')
    serializer_class = LocationInfoSerializer

    serializer = LocationInfoSerializer(queryset, many=False)
    values = list(serializer.data.values())

    gdt1 = [values[1], values[2]]
    gdt2 = [values[2], values[3]]
    uav = [values[4], values[5]]

    data = map_info_to_logic(
        gdt1=gdt1,
        gdt2=gdt2,
        uav=uav
    )

Answer 1

You don't have a set to show, you should use the RetrieveModelMixin with the GenericAPIView . eg: replace the line class LocationInfoViewSet(ModelViewSet): , with this line:

class LocationInfoViewSet(GenericAPIView, RetrieveModelMixin):

the returned html should be on the LocationInfoSerializer , as one of it's field.
