Description
I need to be able to add links to read-only resources into therelationships
-object of a resource as easily as adding a non-link field withSerializerMethodField
. (Generating the link with SerializerMethodField is trivially easy, but theyare links.) In all cases so far I can generate the link from data in the object.
Is this supposed to be possible at all or is it just poorly documented?
I've tried non-model serializers,ResourceRelatedField
,HyperlinkedRelatedField
, and I'm now at the stage where the code is running underpdb
in an attempt to figure out how things are supposed to work. It seems such a straightforward, obvious thing to do.
I'm talking about things like this:
class Some(Model): data = models.CharField()class SomeSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): extra = serializers.SomethingMagicField() class Meta: model = Some fields = ['data','extra'] def extra(self, obj): return 'other_url/{}/'.format(obj.pk)
leading to
{ "data": { "type": "Some", "id": "1", "attributes": { "data": "foo", }, "relationships": { "extra": { "links": { "related": "other_url/1/" } } } }}
instead of
{ "data": { "type": "Some", "id": "1", "attributes": { "data": "foo", "extra": "other_url/1/" } }}
