How to use Username as slug?

Question

Django

Good afternoon.
Tell me how to use the username field of the model as a slug when working with CBV (for example, generic.DetailVew)
I suppose that you can override the slig_field attribute in the SingleObjectmixin mixin?

And misunderstood.
slug_field [ get_slug_field() ]

class MyClassDetailView(DetailView):
    model = User
    slug_field = 'username'

For def get_object() is used for "little" other purposes. For example, for NOT explicit filtering (figuratively speaking "only for male users", "only objects with the status - display" and so on). You pass "slug" in the address bar, this is an explicit parameter and for this there is a banal and correct slug_field .
