To make it more flexible, you can design a FilterBackend as below:
class AnalyticsFilterBackend(generic_filters.BaseFilterBackend):
def filter_queryset(self, request, queryset, view):
predicate = request.query_params # or request.data for POST
if predicate.get('from_date', None) is not None and predicate.get('to_date', None) is not None:
queryset = queryset.filter(your_date__range=(predicate['from_date'], predicate['to_date']))
if predicate.get('from_date', None) is not None and predicate.get('to_date', None) is None:
queryset = queryset.filter(your_date__gte=predicate['from_date'])
if predicate.get('to_date', None) is not None and predicate.get('from_date', None) is None:
queryset = queryset.filter(your_date__lte=predicate['to_date'])
return queryset
