How can I filter data in Django REST Framework?

You can filter data in Django REST Framework by using query parameters in your API views. For example, you can use the filter_backends attribute in your view to specify which filters to apply.

Can you give me an example of how to implement filtering?

Sure! You can use Django's built-in filters like SearchFilter or OrderingFilter. Here's a simple example:

from rest_framework import viewsets
from rest_framework.filters import SearchFilter, OrderingFilter

class MyModelViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()
    filter_backends = (SearchFilter, OrderingFilter)
    search_fields = ['name', 'description']

This allows you to filter by name and description using query parameters.

What if I want to filter by multiple fields?

You can simply add more fields to the search_fields list. For example:

search_fields = ['name', 'description', 'category']

This will allow filtering by name, description, and category.
