Cannot see request data Django Rest Framework

Using Django Forms & APIs

I am trying to update a model and I need to get the data I send from the front end so I can update the specific two fields I am trying to update.

Here is the view:

class UpdateUserSettings(generics.UpdateAPIView):
    permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated]

    serializer_class = SettingsSerializer
    name = 'user-settings'

    def get_queryset(self):
        id = self.kwargs['pk']
        return UserSettings.objects.all().filter(user=id)

    def partial_update(request, *args, **kwargs):
        breakpoint()

At the breakpoint when I do print(request.data) I get an error:
*** AttributeError: ‘UpdateUserSettings’ object has no attribute ‘data’

How can I see the data I am sending from the front end using a patch request? Here is the request function and the formData will be an email and a username:

axios
	.patch("api/v1/users/" + userID + "/settings/update/", formData)
	.then((response) => {
		console.log(response.data);
	});

I cannot do anything if I cannot see the data I send to the backend. I only want to update two fields not all the fields.

All methods within a class receive self as the first parameter of the method. Your definition for partial_update is incorrect.

Ok I was going on what the docs said about the method
