First, when posting code (or templates or error messages) enclose the text between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep the text properly formatted. (I’ve taken the liberty of editing your original post, please remember to do this in the future.) > [@djuan](#): > > `path('menu-items', views.MenuItemsView.as_view({'get': 'list'})),` This is not a valid `path` statement as the error message is pointing out. Review the docs at [django.urls functions for use in URLconfs | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/urls/#path) and [URL dispatcher | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/http/urls/#passing-extra-options-to-view-functions) ---
