Django class-based view: How do I pass additional parameters to the as_view method?

I have a custom class-based view

# myapp/views.py
from django.views.generic import *

class MyView(DetailView):
    template_name = 'detail.html'
    model = MyModel

    def get_object(self, queryset=None):
        return queryset.get(slug=self.slug)

I want to pass in the slug parameter (or other parameters to the view) like this

MyView.as_view(slug='hello_world')

Do I need to override any methods to be able to do this?

For django 3.0, this is what worked for me:

# myapp/views.py
from django.views.generic import DetailView

class MyView(DetailView):
    template_name = 'detail.html'
    slug = None

    def get_object(self, queryset=None):
        self.slug = self.kwargs.get('slug', None)
        return queryset.get(slug=self.slug)

# myapp/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('slug/<slug:slug>/', views.MyView.as_view(), name='myview_by_tag'),
]
