Django REST Framework, working with list of objects after get_queryset

Question

in my views.py there is ViewSet:

class ProductViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Product.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ProductSerializer
    filter_class = OrderFilter
    filter_backends = (
        OrderingFilter,
        DjangoFilterBackend,
    )
    def get_queryset(self):
         ...some query...
         return products # return QuerySet object with all products in db.

Where and how can I manipulate with Project objects after filtering? With ability to take data from request. For example:

for product in products: # after pagination, filtering, etc. 
    product.price = product.price*self.request.user.discount

Thank you!

Answer 1

By the time you are using a ModelViewSet , you will have to override the list() method for example. The signature is list(self, request, *args, **kwargs) where as you understand, you can use the request object and manipulate your data as needed.

Let me know if you need further help!
