Viewset support

That would be awesome.

I am going to be taking a look at it in the next week.

While I haven't tried it out, this should be supported if you do not use routers. When initializing the urlpattern, you would just need to link the post/put/patch/delete views using as_view(). Modifying the routers to make it work there is a different story of course, as you would have to override the list route.

It totally work as expected, I've been able to setup a BulkUpdateViewSet with straightforward mixins :

class UserViewSet(BulkUpdateModelMixin, viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    model = User

class BulkUpdateRouter(DefaultRouter):
    routes = SimpleRouter.routes
    routes[0] = Route(
        url=r'^{prefix}{trailing_slash}$',
        mapping={
            'get': 'list',
            'post': 'create',
            'put': 'bulk_update',
            'patch': 'partial_bulk_update'
        },
        name='{basename}-list',
        initkwargs={'suffix': 'List'}
    )

router = BulkUpdateRouter()
router.register(r'users', UserViewSet)

Adding DELETE would be a breeze as well (but I don't need it)

from django-rest-framework-bulk.

👍 @thomasWajs
I actually never needed to use ViewSets for my projects since I needed fine-grained control and making APIViews did not seem so difficult. Thanx for posting example of how to integrate with ViewSets. If you want, you can add this into Readme and submit PR.

@thomasWajs if possible, can you please add an example of a request that can be made against bulk_update, or partial_bulk_update? I'm a bit baffled by this. Thank you!

PATCH /users/?is_admin=1
is_staff=1

Would do a partial update on all user that are admin, to set them staff as well.
The filtering mechanism uses the one builtin rest-framework, which relies on django-filter

Thank you so much!
