As a user I want to be able to filter posts by role.

As a user, I must be able to retrieve a list of posts filtered by the creator's role. e.g., by teacher, by student, by researcher, etc.

@mathiasbrito-dci @divyaChandran10 the role attribute has been deleted. Is the issue still relevant? we added a method to filter by creator_username, would it be alternative?

class PostViewSet(ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Post.objects.all()
    serializer_class = PostSerializer

    def get_queryset(self):
        search_term = self.request.query_params.get('search_terms')
        if search_term:
            queryset = Post.objects.filter(creator__username__icontains=search_term)
        else:
            queryset = Post.objects.all()
        return queryset

@mathiasbrito-dci shall we add an extra SearchView or is it enough to do the search in the localhost:8000/posts/?search_terms=username ? e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000/posts/?search_terms=La

we need to think about it, I think we can find a solution without the need of having the role, for example, thinking real quick here, if we want to limit the search by student we can just search on the student table.

I think, People in general will search any post by title regardless of the role.

You mean we make new models for StudentPost, TeacherPost, InsitutionPost?

The Issue is about viewing Students/Teacher/Institution posts by just clicking on some filter button. or a link .

Yes I understood that, but since the role attribute is removed from models, can we do the common search of posts. If yes, we can change the issue as 'Search the posts by Title'.
