Advanced Filtering
You can also filter using a json object to process all search parameters. Currently this filter supports the syntax as produced/used by the http://summitroute.github.io/react-structured-filter/ search UI.
Example
?query_expression={"category":"name","operator":"contains","value":"Y00"},
{"category":"amount","operator":">","value":"10"},
{"category":"type__name","operator":"exact","value":"ANTIBODY"}

Preset mappings
- terms: {'name': 'term_count', 'aggregate': Count(F(terms), distinct=True)}
- deleted: <function filter_deleted at 0x7f45063b6710>
- deleted_by: deleted_by__username
- owner: owner__username
- owned_by: owned_by__name
- created_by: created_by__username
- modified_by: modified_by__username
Operators
- ==
- =
- >=
- >
- <=
- <
- contains
- icontains
- exact
- iexact
- startswith
- istartswith
- endswith
- iendswith
Permission filtering
Based on the current logged in user you can filter for objects that have a particular permission set:
- can_change: True/False, show objects that you can change
- can_delete: True/False, show objects that you can delete
# not applicable - will raise NotAcceptable:
- can_view: as this is always True, you can only view items you are allowed to see
Ordering
You can order on practically any field even spanning relations.
# reverse order on owner username
?ordering=-owner
# order on related field
?ordering=category__version
API endpoint that allows CV Categories to be viewed or edited.
In addition to the normal detail page, when provided with the param *nested*=True,
the detail endpoint shows all Terms on the category.
Then on the detail page, terms can be viewed, changed, deleted and added to the Category.

The default modelviewset used in this project
Add JSONPatch like functionality to bulk update items.
### Bulk Delete
This view also allows for one to bulk delete items. The url needs to be appended by ``/bulk_delete/`` and the ids
need to be given by multiple query_params:
```
{current_url}/bulk_delete/?id=<id_1>,id=<id_2>
```
