Pass a custom param in URL with a ModelViewSet

Question

What's the best way of passing a param using a ModelViewSet? Forexample achieving something like this :

http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1/financing-settings/template/?param=block

Below is the approach I was using but found out I have set the param in the body section, but it's not what I want :

class TemplateView(ModelViewSet):
    """ViewSet for Saving Block/ Step template."""

   
    def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        """Get list of Block/Steps with is_process_template is equal to True."""
        param = request.data['param']

        if param == "block":
            _block = Block.objects.filter(is_process_template=True).values()
            return JsonResponse({"data": list(_block)}, safe=False, status=200)

        elif param == "step":
            _step = Step.objects.filter(is_process_template=True).values()
            return JsonResponse({"data": list(_step)}, safe=False, status=200)

        return Response(status=status.HTTP_204_NO_CONTENT)

Why is your approach not what you want? The param is not in the request body it is in request.GET, DRF adds the request.data dict which is a merge of all GET/POST/FILES data from the request afaik — Iain Shelvington

What challenge? Reading the param from request.GET is pretty much the way to read query parameters — Iain Shelvington

@IainShelvington, I have seen it it, it returns a QueryDict: — Lutaaya Huzaifah Idris

 param = request.GET.get('param')

or for a post request

 param = request.POST.get('param')
