How do you override a ModelViewSet's get_queryset in Django Rest Framework 3?

Question

I used to follow this pattern in Django Rest Framework (DRF) 2:

class Foo(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)

class FooSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Foo
        fields = ('url')

class FooViewset(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return Foo.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
    serializer = FooSerializer
    model = Foo # <-- the way a ModelViewSet is told what the object is in DRF 2

[ in urls.py]
from rest_framework import routers
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register('Foo', views.FooViewSet)

In DRF 3, I now get:

AssertionError at /
`base_name` argument not specified, and could not automatically  
 determine the name from the viewset, as it does not have a   
`.queryset` attribute.

How is get_queryset overridden for an instance of rest_framework.viewsets.ModelViewSet?

Answer 1

Figured this one out. The model field of the rest_framework.viewsets.ModelViewSet does seem to be AWOL in DRF3. Now, if you override get_queryset you need to specify a third parameter to routers.DefaultRouter().register which is the basename parameter. Then, the function won't go off and try to find it on the non-existent queryset field of the ModelViewSet.

e.g.

router = routers.DefaultRouter()
[...]
router.register('/rest/FooBar'/, views.FooBarViewSet, 'foobar-detail')
                                                     #^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
