Django redirect_url with parameter

Question

I have a simple UpdateView which updates instances of my Profile model.

class ProfileUpdateView(UpdateView):

    model = Profile
    fields = ['first_name', 'last_name']

It's working fine both GET and POST, but since the GET uses an url parameter, I want also the redirect_url to redirect to the updated profile.

My current urls.py:

from profiles.views import ProfileUpdateView

urlpatterns = [
    path('self/<slug:slug>', ProfileUpdateView.as_view(success_url='/'), name='self_profile')
]

It is currently redirecting to the main url, but I don't figure out how to make the redirect_url parameter redirect to the profile modified on the handled POST.

Let's say I do http://localhost:8000/profiles/self/demo, (GET), then I modify my first_name and submit the request. I want the redirection to go to /profiles/self/demo again.

I know I could override def post() on the view and achieve it, but since I only want to deal with the redirection I wanted to know if exists any other elegant solution.

EDIT: Additional info: the slug url parameter will always be request.user in this case (since I use other view (a DetailView) to see other users' profiles).

Thanks!!

Override the get_success_url(...) method as

class ProfileUpdateView(UpdateView):
    model = Profile
    fields = ['first_name', 'last_name']

    def get_success_url(self):
        return '/profiles/self/demo'

Hence, you don't need to specify the success_url attribute in the urls.py

from profiles.views import ProfileUpdateView

urlpatterns = [
    path('self/<slug:slug>', ProfileUpdateView.as_view(), name='self_profile')
]
