How to PATCH a single field using Django Rest Framework?

Question

I have a model \'MyModel\' with many fields and I would like to update a field \'status\' using PATCH method. I\'m using class based views. Is there any way to implement PAT

If anyone is still planning to find a simple solution using ModelSerializer without changing much of your views, you can subclass the ModelSerializer and have all your ModelSerializers inherit from that.

class PatchModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        kwargs['partial'] = True
        super(PatchModelSerializer, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

class ArticleSerializer(PatchModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Article
