How to disable a method in a ViewSet django-rest-framework

0 votes

ViewSets have automatic methods to list, retrieve, create, update, delete, ...

I would like to disable some of those, and the solution I came up with is probably not a good one, since OPTIONS still states those as allowed.

class SampleViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = api_models.Sample.objects.all()
    serializer_class = api_serializers.SampleSerializer

    def list(self, request):
        return Response(status=status.HTTP_405_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED)
    def create(self, request):
        return Response(status=status.HTTP_405_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED)

Any idea on how to do this the right way?

Hello @kartik,

You could keep using viewsets.ModelViewSet and define http_method_names on your ViewSet.

Example

class SampleViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = api_models.Sample.objects.all()
    serializer_class = api_serializers.SampleSerializer
    http_method_names = ['get', 'post', 'head']

Once you add http_method_names, you will not be able to do put and patch anymore.

If you want put but don't want patch, you can keep http_method_names = ['get', 'post', 'head', 'put']

Hope it helps!!
