I have been trying to use django-filters but the objects are not getting filtered. Also, the permission is not working for the partial_update views
I have a Viewset which has the basic actions like - list(), retrieve(), destroy(), partial_update() and few other actions, and trying to apply filter for the same.
After some research I found that since I am creating the queryset via filters I will have to override the get_queryset() method. However, that also doesn't seem to be working. Does the filter works only with ModelViewSet or ListApiView?
ViewSet -
class PostViewSet(viewsets.ViewSet):
"""
The Endpoint to list, retrieve, create and delete Posts.
"""
filter_backends = (DjangoFilterBackend, )
# filterset_class = PostFilter
filter_fields = ('pet_age', 'pet_gender', 'breed')
def get_permissions(self):
if self.action == 'partial_update' or self.action == 'update':
permission_classes = [IsPostAuthor, ]
elif self.action == 'create' or self.action == 'destroy':
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated, ]
else:
permission_classes = [AllowAny, ]
return[permission() for permission in permission_classes]
def get_queryset(self):
return Post.objects.active() # This is implemented via custom Manager
def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Method for Post listing. It can be accessed by anyone.
"""
serializer = PostListSerializer(self.get_queryset(), many=True, context={"request": request})
return Response(serializer.data)
# REST CODE TRUNCATED
Permission -
class IsPostAuthor(permissions.BasePermission):
"""
Object-level permission to only allow owners of an object to edit it.
"""
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
if view.action in ['partial_update', 'update']:
return obj.user.id == request.user.id
return False
return False
PostFilter -
class PostFilter(filters.FilterSet):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ('pet_age', 'pet_gender', 'breed', )
Manager -
class PostManager(models.Manager):
def active(self):
return self.filter(post_status='Active')
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Okay, So finally found the solution from DRF Docs. The issue was that in case of normal ViewSet you have to override the method filter_queryset() and return the appropriate queryset accordingly. Then use the queryset under filter_queryset as mentioned by Aman -
serializer = PostListSerializer(self.filter_queryset(self.get_queryset()), many=True, context={"request": request})
Below is the code for reference for those who are still facing issues -
filter_queryset -
def filter_queryset(self, queryset):
filter_backends = (DjangoFilterBackend, )
# Other condition for different filter backend goes here
for backend in list(filter_backends):
queryset = backend().filter_queryset(self.request, queryset, view=self)
return queryset
You have overwrite the list method, so it's not working to work call the filter_queryet method.
def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Method for Post listing. It can be accessed by anyone.
"""
serializer = PostListSerializer(self.filter_queryset(self.get_queryset()), many=True, context= .
{"request": request})
return Response(serializer.data)
