Django - Where are the params stored on a PUT/DELETE request?

Question

I\'d like to follow the RESTful pattern for my new django project, and I\'d like to know where the parameters are when a PUT/DELETE request is made.

As far as I know

My approach was to override the dispatch function so I can set a variable from the body data using QueryDict()

from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin
from django.http import QueryDict
from django.views.generic import View


class GenericView(View):

    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        if request.method.lower() in self.http_method_names:
            handler = getattr(self, request.method.lower(), self.http_method_not_allowed)

            # if we have a request with potential body data utilize QueryDict()
            if request.method.lower() in ['post', 'put', 'patch']:
                self.request_body_data = {k: v[0] if len(v)==1 else v for k, v in QueryDict(request.body).lists()}
        else:
            handler = self.http_method_not_allowed
        return handler(request, *args, **kwargs)


class ObjectDetailView(LoginRequiredMixin, GenericView):

    def put(self, request, object_id):
        print("updating object", object_id)
        print(self.request_body_data)

    def patch(self, request, object_id):
        print("updating object", object_id)
        print(self.request_body_data)
