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"}

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.

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>
```
