UserViewSet

UserViewSet is a class within the Django REST framework, a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. It is a type of view that provides the standard set of create, retrieve, update, partial_update, and destroy actions. These actions correspond to the HTTP methods POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, respectively. UserViewSet is typically used to create a set of views for a specific model, in this case, the User model, which is a built-in model in Django that represents a user in the system.

The UserViewSet class is defined by subclassing the ViewSet class from the Django REST framework. It then specifies the queryset and serializer_class attributes. The queryset attribute is used to specify the set of objects that the view will operate on, and the serializer_class attribute is used to specify the serializer that will be used to convert the objects to and from JSON.

The UserViewSet class can also define custom actions by using the @action decorator. These custom actions can be used to perform additional operations on the User model, such as resetting a user's password or activating a user's account.

In summary, UserViewSet is a class within the Django REST framework that provides a set of views for the User model. It is defined by subclassing the ViewSet class and specifying the queryset and serializer_class attributes. It can also define custom actions to perform additional operations on the User model.
