Basic: How to use PATCH Method User Model in Django Rest Framework

I have problem with using PATCH Method User Model in Django Rest Framework. Hope your guy helps and save my time.

Urls.py

urlpatterns = [
  url(r'^account/edit/$', UserDetailAPIView.as_view({'patch': 'edit'}))
]

Views.py:

class UserDetailAPIView(ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
    queryset = User.objects.all()
    serializer_class = UserSerializer

    @detail_route(methods=['PATCH'])
        def edit(self, request):
           user_obj = User.objects.get(id=request.user.id)
           serializer = UserRegisterSerializer(user_obj, data=request.data, partial=True)
           if serializer.is_valid():
              serializer.save()
              return Response(serializer.data)
           return Response(status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

Serializer:

class UserRegisterSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = [
            'email',
            'first_name',
            'last_name'
        ]

Error:

It's not partial update. It update all fields with let it blank.

When you use patch you need to pass only updated field to your API. For example to update email you need to send this: {'emai':'[email protected]'}. In other word you need not to provide all serializer's fied.
