Yes, something here. See also my comment on westerveltco/neapolitan#4.

I actually have an implementation of this. I spent a little bit of time after writing this issue smashing the bits of DRF's ViewSet into CRUDView to see if I could get this working. It's not pretty and it pretty much copies DRF wholesale, but it does work.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but if I remember correctly my use case was I wanted a way to hang a few routes off of a CRUDView for easy HTMX related stuff and not have to muddy up the various dispatch methods.

I think this is related to carltongibson/neapolitan#32.

There I give the example overriding get_urls():

    @classonlymethod
    def get_urls(cls):
        verbose_name = cls.model._meta.model_name
        urlpatterns = [
            path(
                f"{verbose_name}/",
                cls.as_view(role=Role.LIST),
                name=f"{verbose_name}-list",
            ),
            path(
                f"{verbose_name}/<int:pk>/",
                cls.as_view(role=Role.DETAIL),
                name=f"{verbose_name}-detail",
            ),
        return urlpatterns

This to limit the exposed routes, but I'm doing the same urlpatterns.extend() to add extra actions (using a CustomRole class) currently.

There's a bunch of related work here, but I think the endpoint likely is a decorator.
