Pull Request: Fixes in views.pyi Stub File

Overview

This pull request addresses issues in the views.pyi file within the djangorestframework-stubs package. The changes are based on the comparison between the master branch and the fixes/views.pyi branch.

Summary of Changes

• Updated type annotations in views.pyi to ensure better type safety and compatibility with the latest versions of Django REST Framework.
• Fixed incorrect or missing signatures for several class-based and function-based views.
• Improved docstrings and inline comments to provide clarity on expected types and usage.
• Addressed any discovered inconsistencies between the actual DRF implementation and the type stubs.

Why These Changes Are Necessary

1. Improved Type Checking: Ensures that static type checkers (like mypy) can accurately infer and verify the usage of DRF views in user codebases.
2. Better Developer Experience: Provides more accurate autocompletion and inline documentation for developers using type hints in their Django REST projects.
3. Bug Fixes: Resolves issues where incorrect or missing type hints could lead to false positives or negatives during static analysis.
4. Up-to-date Stubs: Keeps the stubs in sync with the latest DRF releases, minimizing mismatches between actual code and type information.

Issues Fixed

• Fixes incorrect type annotations in views.pyi.
• Resolves type errors that may arise when using class-based views with generic types.
• Addresses missing or outdated stubs for recently added DRF view classes or methods.

Additional Notes

• All changes are limited to type stub files and do not impact runtime behavior.
• The changes have been validated against the latest DRF release for compatibility.
• Developers are encouraged to report any further discrepancies they encounter.

Checklist

• Updated type annotations where necessary.
• Verified compatibility with latest DRF version.
• Ran type checker (mypy) to ensure no new errors are introduced.
• Included detailed comments for maintainability.
