✅

@api_view decorator missing.To get request.data in DRF, either you have to use the decorator @api_view or extend from the APIView class
if you are using class-based view.

from rest_framework.decorators import api_view

@api_view
def list(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        serializer = CustomerSerializer(data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save()
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

For class based view extend from APIView

from rest_framework.views import APIView

class List(APIView):

    def post(self, request):
        serializer = CustomerSerializer(data=request.data)
        if serializer.is_valid():
            serializer.save()
            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)
