[Python] How should I define redirect request properly

I have a social network project for users to share their recipes. The Recipe objects managed by a ViewSet, which has Serializer, where create and update recipes operations defined, via POST and PATCH methods at same address (ie /recipes/<pk>). So when recipe is posted by user, frontend designed as user is seeing the result form, and there is a button 'update recipe' which leads to /recipes/<pk>/edit address. The problem is this page does not exist and I get 404 error. I assumed I should add some redirect to a ViewSet, but whatever i tried didn't work. so I thought I should add to a ViewSet something like:

def edit_redirect(self, request, pk):
if self.request.url == '/<intk>/edit':
return (
redirect('recipes/<intk>'),
self.request.method == 'patch'
)


but I'm not sure is it correct at all and how to write properly.

PS. my container terminal also returns error from nginx when click "update recipe" and get 404:

gateway-1 | 2025/06/18 14:40:33 [error] 36#36: *20 open() "/staticfiles/recipes/1/edit" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 172.19.0.1, server: , request: "GET /recipes/1/edit HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8800", referrer: "http://localhost:8800/recipes/1"


and backend container doesnt send any response at all. Might it cause all this trouble? Most of other project functions work normally, as favorites, subscriptions, shopping list.. but this 404 i cant resolve..

ViewSet looks like:

class RecipeViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
"""Управление рецептами."""

queryset = Recipe.objects.all()
filter_backends = (DjangoFilterBackend,)
filterset_class = RecipeFilter
pagination_class = PageLimitPaginator

def get_permissions(self):
if self.action in ('list', 'retrieve', 'get_link'):
return (AllowAny(),)
return (IsAuthenticated(), OwnerOnly())

def get_serializer_class(self):
if self.action in ('list', 'retrieve'):
return RecipeGetSerializer
if self.action in ['create', 'update', 'partial_update']:
return RecipePostSerializer
return super().get_serializer_class()


and Serializer is like

class RecipePostSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Создание рецепта."""

tags = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(
queryset=Tag.objects.all(),
many=True,
required=True,
allow_null=False,
allow_empty=False,
)
ingredients = RecipeIngredientSerializer(
many=True,
required=True,
allow_null=False,
allow_empty=False,)
author = serializers.HiddenField(
default=serializers.CurrentUserDefault())
image = Base64ImageField(required=True, allow_null=False, use_url=True)
name = serializers.CharField(required=True, max_length=MAX_LENGTH_LONG)
cooking_time = serializers.IntegerField(
max_value=MAX_AMOUNT, min_value=MIN_AMOUNT)

class Meta:
model = Recipe
fields = ('ingredients', 'tags', 'image', 'name', 'text',
'cooking_time', 'author')

# here goes some validators etc

def create(self, validated_data):
"""Создание рецепта."""
tags = validated_data.pop('tags')
ingredients = validated_data.pop('ingredients')
recipe = Recipe.objects.create(**validated_data)
self.add_tags_ingredients(recipe, tags, ingredients)
return recipe

def update(self, instance, validated_data):
"""Изменение рецепта."""
recipe = instance
recipe.tags.clear()
recipe.ingredients.clear()
tags = validated_data.pop('tags')
ingredients = validated_data.pop('ingredients')
self.add_tags_ingredients(recipe, tags, ingredients)
recipe.save()
return recipe

def to_representation(self, instance):
return RecipeGetSerializer(instance).data
