How to make a PATCH request using DJANGO REST framework

Question

I am not very experience with Django REST framework and have been trying out many things but can not make my PATCH request work.

I have a Model serializer. This is

Answer 1

Another posiblity is to make the request by URL. For example, I have a model like this

      class Author(models.Model):
        FirstName = models.CharField(max_length=70)
        MiddleName = models.CharField(max_length=70)
        LastName = models.CharField(max_length=70)
        Gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices = GENDERS)
        user = models.ForeignKey(User, default = 1, on_delete = models.CASCADE, related_name='author_user')
        IsActive = models.BooleanField(default=True)
        class Meta:
          ordering = ['LastName']

And a view like this

      class Author(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
        queryset = Author.objects.all()
        serializer_class = AuthorSerializer

So can enter http://127.0.0.1:8000/author/ to get or post authors. If I want to make a PATCH request you can point to http://127.0.0.1:8000/author/ID_AUTHOR from your client. For example in angular2, you can have something like this

       patchRequest(item: any): Observable {
        return this.http.patch('http://127.0.0.1:8000/author/1', item);
       }

It suppose you have configured your CORS and you have the same model in back and front. Hope it can be usefull.
