get_queryset method and ViewSets in django rest framework

Question

I am doing exactly as the example states

here is my method

class FeedViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    model = Feed
    serializer_class = FullFeedSerializer

    def get_queryset(self):
        user = request.user
        queryset = Feed.objects.get_nearby(user)
        return queryset

when i execute it, it says request not defined .. which actually isn't. the example at the rest framework's site also haven't defined request. what am i doing wrong?

The request object is available (on either REST framework's class based views, or Django's standard class based views) as self.request. You're missing the self. part of that.

django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/viewsets.html .. under the heading ModelViewSet , the code example has this mistake.

how to access request object in serializers or all the business logic should be done in views only ?

Tom Christie Over a year ago

"how to access request object in serializers" - If you're using the generic views, then it'll be available on a serializer as self.context['request']. If you're not using the generic views then you'll need to make sure to pass context={'request': request} when instantiating the serializer.
