How can I implement filtering in Django REST Framework?

You can implement filtering in Django REST Framework by using the django-filter package. First, install it using pip.

What are the steps to set it up?

1. Install django-filter: pip install django-filter. 2. Add 'django_filters' to your INSTALLED_APPS. 3. Create a filter class for your model.

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 use this filter in my views?

In your view, you can use the filter class like this:

from django_filters.rest_framework import DjangoFilterBackend
from rest_framework import viewsets
from .models import YourModel
from .filters import YourModelFilter

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