Update instance for author in Django REST












0















I would like to update a instance of a model only if the request author is same than instance author.



I guess can do it in the update method:



def update(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
if request.user == self.get_object().user
do_things()


How can I do it? Is it obligatory to write an update en every ModelViewSet or ListAPIView? or is there a method to write a custom permission to accomplish this.

          You can implement a custom permission. The following example is from the docs, modified to fit your use case:



          from rest_framework import permissions

          class IsOwnerOrReadOnly(permissions.BasePermission):
          """
          Object-level permission to only allow owners of an object to edit it.
          Assumes the model instance has an `user` attribute.
          """

          def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
          # Read permissions are allowed to any request,
          # so we'll always allow GET, HEAD or OPTIONS requests.
          if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
          return True

          # Instance must have an attribute named `user`.
          return obj.user == request.user
