Django Filter Backend

Question

I\'m working with Django rest framework API, I am trying to make a filter by first_name or by last_name or by both of them. This is my ContactViewSet.py :

Answer 1

I solved my problem by modifying my class ContactFilter like this:

import django_filters
from .models import Contact

class ContactFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
   class Meta:
        model = Contact
        fields = {
            'first_name': ['startswith'],
            'last_name': ['startswith'],
        }
        together = ['first_name', 'last_name']

And in my view I just had to do this :

class ContactViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Contact.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ContactSerializer
    filter_class = ContactFilter

My request url looks like :

http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contact/?first_name__contains=Cl&last_name__contains=Tes

But I still wonder if I can have something like this in Django

http://localhost:8000/api/v1/contacts/?first_name=Cl**&last_name=Tes**
