Why does it works this way?

It this decorated function

@detail_route(methods=['get'])
def reviews(self, request, pk=None):
    course = self.get_object()
    serializer = serializers.ReviewSerializer(
        course.reviews.all(), many=True)
    return Response(serializer.data)

i wonder why this line works course.reviews.all()

Course model doesn't have review fields so why it doesn't raise any error?

@detail_route is deprecated now. Also, this code doesn't work for me.

This is how I do it.

    @action(methods=["get"], detail=True)
    def reviews(self, request, pk=None):
        course = self.get_object()
        reviews = models.Review.objects.filter(course=course)
        serializer = serializers.ReviewSerializer(reviews, many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)
