The simplest way to implement a custom router is to subclass one of the existing router classes. The `.routes` attribute is used to template the URL patterns that will be mapped to each viewset. The `.routes` attribute is a list of `Route` named tuples.
The arguments to the `Route` named tuple are:
* `url`: The URL to be routed. There are format arguments available, defined in `SimpleRouter.get_urls`:
* `prefix` - The URL prefix to use for this set of routes.
* `lookup` - The lookup field used to match against a single instance.
* `trailing_slash` - the value of `.trailing_slash`.
* `mapping`: Mapping of HTTP method names to the object's methods
* `name`: The name of the URL as used in `reverse` calls. There are format arguments available, defined in `SimpleRouter.get_urls`:
* `basename` - The base to use for the URL names that are created.
* `initkwargs`: Any additional arguments to the view.
* `suffix` - reserved for identifying the viewset type, used when generating the breadcrumb links, e.g. `AccountViewSet` becomes `Account List` when `suffix='List'`.
## Example
The following example will only route to the `list` and `retrieve` actions, and does not use the trailing slash convention.
