How can I update the document partially from view?
I used partial_update() SQL databases such as PostGreSQL, MySQL
but I am not sure how can I update mongoDB document with several properties.

i.e when mongo query is like below, how can I write in Django rest framework view.
db.products.update(
{ _id: 100 },
{ $set:
{
quantity: 500,
details: { model: "14Q3", make: "xyz" },
tags: [ "coats", "outerwear", "clothing" ]
}
}
)

I'm afraid, partial updates are not entirely stable. See test_partial.py for examples.
