What's the best way to handle many optional query parameters for a single endpoint? Currently I am just checking if the argument is available and I have a bunch of if else statements but I am trying to see if there is a better way to implement this. Thanks!
EDIT: I am also not sure what's the best way to use filtering for my database queries here.
parts = []
# optional query params start here
category = category = request.query_params.get('category')
tags = request.query_params.get('tag')
price = request.query.params.get('price')
if price is not None:
......
if tags is None or len(tags) == 0:
parts = Part.objects.filter(category=category)
else:
tag_list = tags.split(",")
parts = Part.objects.filter(category=category,tags__name__in=tag_list).distinct()```
