How can I use advanced options in Django Filter?

You can use advanced options in Django Filter by utilizing features like custom filters, filter sets, and more. What specific functionality are you looking for?

I want to create a custom filter for a date range.

You can create a custom filter by subclassing FilterSet and defining a method for your date range. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django_filters import rest_framework as filters
from .models import YourModel

class YourModelFilter(filters.FilterSet):
    date_range = filters.DateFromToRangeFilter(field_name='date_field')

    class Meta:
        model = YourModel
        fields = ['date_range']

This will allow you to filter by a date range in your API.

That looks great! How do I integrate this filter into my view?

You can integrate it into your view by using the DjangoFilterBackend. Here's an example:

from django_filters.rest_framework import DjangoFilterBackend
from rest_framework import viewsets

class YourModelViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = YourModel.objects.all()
    filter_backends = (DjangoFilterBackend,)
    filterset_class = YourModelFilter

This will enable filtering in your API endpoint.
