Is it possible to make a PUT request on list view, using ModelViewSets?












0















My goal is to handle a PUT request that contains multiple jsons. In simple words, I just want to be able to update multiple items with 1 PUT request. I tried to override the update() method in my ModeViewSet, but as I saw in my tests, the following request:



(example) response = self.client.put('/collections/', [{'id':1, ...}, {'id':2, ...}])


didn't even go into the update method's code. Instead, it returned a 'method not allowed' error. I looked for this issue and I found out that, by default, drf supports PUT requests only on detail views.



I also found this answer here on stack overflow, but I would prefer to see if it can be done without using a 3rd-party package.




  • So, is there a proper solution without using a 3rd party package?

  • Is it possible to make it work using ModelViewSets or should I use something different?

          Yes to both of your questions.



          What you need is to alter the routers so that they map the PUT verb to some ViewSet's method.



          You'll have to copy&paste the route definitions from the default router and alter the mapping as - for example:



          mapping={
          'get': 'list',
          'post': 'create',
          'put': 'list_update',
          },
