I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about querying an endpoint for specific models with a list of those model ids. I know that I can query the detail endpoint using the id in the url (/markers/{id}), but I'd like to be able to post multiple ids at once and receive data from the model instances with those ids. As of right now, I created a custom APIView seen below (MarkerDetailsList) where I essentially just post a list of ids and define a custom post method to parse and lookup the ids in the db, but I'm finding it hard to believe this is the best way to accomplish this. Is there a way to achieve the same thing using the viewset? I've checked the documentation and searched around and cant seem to find anything. Any suggestions?
class MarkerViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
permission_classes = [permissions.AllowAny]
authentication_classes = ()
queryset = Marker.objects.all()
serializer_class = MarkerSerializer
class MarkerDetailList(APIView):
queryset = Marker.objects.all()
serializer_class = MarkerSerializer
permission_classes = [permissions.AllowAny]
authentication_classes = (JSONWebTokenAuthentication, )
def post(self, request):
ids = request.data['mapIds']
markers = Marker.objects.filter(id__in=ids)
serializer = MarkerSerializer(markers, many=True)
return Response(serializer.data)
