How can I implement advanced filtering in Django Rest Framework?

You can use Django Filter along with Django Rest Framework to implement advanced filtering. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for filtering a list of products by price and category.

Sure! First, install django-filter. Then, create a filter class like this:

import django_filters
from .models import Product

class ProductFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = {'price': ['lt', 'gt'], 'category': ['exact']}

Then, in your view, use this filter class.

How do I integrate this filter into my view?

In your view, you can use the DjangoFilterBackend like this:

from rest_framework import viewsets
from django_filters.rest_framework import DjangoFilterBackend

class ProductViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Product.objects.all()
    filter_backends = (DjangoFilterBackend,)
    filterset_class = ProductFilter
