delete object through Django REST API

I'm trying to delete "Product" object using Django REST API but don't know how to do this.

serializer:

class ProductSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Product
fields = ('id', 'product_name', 'measure', 'barcode')


I can create product using this function

def create_product(request):
data = request.POST
serializer = ProductSerializer(data=data)
if serializer.is_valid():
serializer.save()


But I don't know how to delete

There is no serializer.delete() method.

Have your view inherit from the ModelViewSet(cdrf.co/3.7/rest_framework.viewsets/ModelViewSet.html). destroy is pretty much handled there with the rest of the CRUD functionality. You can set the allowed_methods property to allow only HTTP operations that you care about.

You can do that using query set:

@api_view(["DELETE"])
def product_delete_rest_endpoint(request, product_id):
Product.objects.get(id=product_id).delete()
return Response()


If your view(set) inherits from DestroyModelMixin, or a viewset which inherit's from it, e.g. ModelViewSet, http DELETE is supported out of the box. You can test it with curl, for example curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8000/your-api/products/<product-id>".

DestroyModelMixin

ModelViewSet

DELETE

curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8000/your-api/products/<product-id>"
