How do you pass parameters which are not associated with a serializer field in Django Rest Framework?
<p>I have a form with fields which are not associated with a model.  I assume to implement the equivalent using a REST API (django-rest-framework), I would have to pass those additional fields, which are not associated with a Serializer?  How do I do that?</p>

<p>Let's say the additional field is number_of_pages.  I use that for some calculation.  How do I allow that to be passed in my REST call?</p>
