If you have ad-hoc methods that you need to be routed to, you can mark them as requiring routing using the `@link` or `@action` decorators. The `@link` decorator will route `GET` requests, and the `@action` decorator will route `POST` requests. If you have ad-hoc methods that you need to be routed to, you can mark them as requiring routing using the `@collection_link`, `@collection_action`, `@link`, or `@action` decorators. The `@collection_link` and `@link` decorator will route `GET` requests, and the `@collection_action` and `@action` decorator will route `POST` requests.
The `@link` and `@action` decorators contain `pk` in their URL pattern and are intended for methods which require a single instance. The `@collection_link` and `@collection_action` decorators are intended for methods which operate on a collection of objects.

The `@action` and `@link` decorators can additionally take extra arguments that will be set for the routed view only. For example... @collection_link()
def recent_users(self, request):
recent_users = User.objects.all().order('-last_login')
page = self.paginate_queryset(recent_users)
serializer = self.get_pagination_serializer(page)
return Response(serializer.data)
The decorators can additionally take extra arguments that will be set for the routed view only. For example...
@action(permission_classes=[IsAdminOrIsSelf]) @action(permission_classes=[IsAdminOrIsSelf])

The `@action` decorator will route `POST` requests by default, but may also accept other HTTP methods, by using the `method` argument. For example: The `@collection_action` and `@action` decorators will route `POST` requests by default, but may also accept other HTTP methods, by using the `method` argument. For example:
@action(methods=['POST', 'DELETE']) @action(methods=['POST', 'DELETE'])
