I want to write a class based API view to check if the record exists in DB or not then return True else False by using rest_framework. How could I create CBV to check it? Please help me with this context. here is my serializer class
class EmployeeSerializer(ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Employee
fields = '__all__'
here is my url
path('employee/<name>/<code>/',views.EmployeeExist.as_view(),name = 'employee_exits')
Here is how you can create simple view:
from rest_framework import status, response
from rest_framework import generics
class EmployeeExistView(generics.GenericAPIView):
serializer_class = None
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
employee = Employee.objects.filter(id=kwargs.get('id'))
if employee.exists():
return response.Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
return response.Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
