drf-query-method
Support for the HTTP QUERY method (RFC 10008) in Django REST framework.
QUERY is safe and idempotent like GET, but carries a request body like POST. It suits searches whose
parameters are too long or too structured for a URL.

Usage
Define a query() handler, then call patch() once at startup:
import drf_query_method
drf_query_method.patch()
class NoteViewSet(ModelViewSet):
...
def query(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return self.list(request, *args, **kwargs)
Routers then send QUERY /notes/ to query(), and SearchFilter, OrderingFilter, django-filter's
DjangoFilterBackend and django-rest-framework-datatables read their parameters from the request body. If you'd rather not patch DRF, import drop-in
classes with the same names from drf_query_method instead. See the documentation
for both approaches, and for sending QUERY requests from JavaScript and other clients.
The package is in early development and not yet released.
Compatibility

- Django 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0 and 6.1. Django 6.2 adds
