How can I integrate django-filter with Django REST Framework?

To integrate django-filter with Django REST Framework, first install django-filter using pip. Then, add 'django_filters' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

What are the steps after installing it?

After installation, create a filter class by subclassing filters.FilterSet. Then, in your view, use DjangoFilterBackend to enable filtering.

Can you show me an example of a filter class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import django_filters
from .models import YourModel

class YourModelFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    class Meta:
        model = YourModel
        fields = ['field1', 'field2']

How do I apply this filter in a view?

In your view, you can apply the filter like this:

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
