Django GenericViewSet: Can't create custom routes - django

Question

I'm struggling to understand how class-based generic views work in Django. The documentation doesn't cover generic views in detail.
I've created a custom #list_route but there seems to be no way of calling it. Here's the code:
view:
class AnalyticsViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet):
queryset = models.BookingAnalytics.objects.exclude(status=booking_constants.BookingState.deleted)
permission_classes = [DRYPermissions, ]
filter_backends = [DjangoFilterBackend, ]
filter_class = filters.AnalyticsFilter
serializer_class = serializers.AnalyticsDetailSerializer
serializer_classes = {}
def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
if not request.user.is_role_admin:
raise exc.PermissionDenied()
queryset = self.get_queryset()
filtered_queryset = self.filter_queryset(queryset)
data = {
'stats': {
....
}
}
return response.Ok(data)
#list_route(methods=['POST'], url_path='export')
def export(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
queryset = self.get_queryset()
filtered_queryset = self.filter_queryset(queryset)
recipients = []
if 'recipients' in request.data:
recipients = request.data['recipients']
....
return response.NoContent()
model:
class BookingAnalytics(UUIDModel, TimeStampedModel):
...
class Meta:
verbose_name = _('booking analytic')
verbose_name_plural = _('booking analytics')
ordering = ('-booking_date', '-created',)
def __str__(self):
return self.uuid
#staticmethod
#authenticated_users
def has_read_permission(request) -> bool:
return request.user.is_role_admin or request.user.is_role_client
#staticmethod
#authenticated_users
def has_write_permission(request) -> bool:
return request.user.is_role_admin or request.user.is_role_client
#staticmethod
#authenticated_users
def has_object_list_permission(request) -> bool:
return request.user.is_role_admin
#authenticated_users
def has_object_export_permission(self, request) -> bool:
return request.user.is_role_admin
Here, the default list route works just fine. However, the export route isn't called at all.
What is it that I'm missing?
Contrary to that, I have another viewset with many custom routes, and they work perfectly:
class BookingViewSet(
MultipleSerializerMixin,
mixins.CreateModelMixin,
mixins.RetrieveModelMixin,
mixins.UpdateModelMixin,
viewsets.GenericViewSet
):
lookup_field = 'uuid'
queryset = models.Booking.objects.all()
permission_classes = [DRYPermissions, ]
filter_backends = [filters.BookingFilterBackend, filters.BookingExportFilterBackend, DjangoFilterBackend, ]
filter_class = filters.BookingFilter
pagination_class = BookingViewSetPagination
serializer_class = serializers.BookingDetailSerializer
serializer_classes = {...}
....
#list_route(methods=['POST'], url_path='export-bookings')
def export_bookings(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
queryset = self.get_queryset()
filtered_queryset = self.filter_queryset(queryset)
recipients = []
if 'recipients' in request.data:
recipients = request.data['recipients']
....
return response.NoContent()

Here is how I end up making it work.
views.py
#api_view(['POST'])
#permission_classes([permissions.IsAuthenticated])
def export(request, format=None):
qs = models.BookingAnalytics.objects.all()
filtered_queryset = filters.AnalyticsFilter(request.GET, queryset=qs)
recipients = []
if 'recipients' in request.data:
recipients = request.data['recipients']
....
return response.NoContent()
urls.py
...
url(r'^export$', export, name='export'),
...
