## Writable nested serializers
|
||||
|
||||
To use writable nested serialization you'll want to declare a nested field on
|
||||
the serializer class, and write the `create(validated_data)` and/or
|
||||
`update(instance, validated_data)` methods explicitly.
|
||||
Note that nested serializers also works for regular serializers.
|
||||
|
||||
class TrackSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
model = Track
|
||||
fields = ('order', 'title')
|
||||
|
||||
class AlbumSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
|
||||
tracks = TrackSerializer(many=True)
|
||||
|
||||
class Meta:
|
||||
model = Album
|
||||
fields = ('album_name', 'artist', 'tracks')
|
||||
|
||||
def create(self, validated_data):
|
||||
tracks_data = validated_data.pop('tracks')
|
||||
album = Album.objects.create(**validated_data)
|
||||
for track_data in tracks_data:
|
||||
Track.objects.create(album=album, duration=0, **track_data)
|
||||
return album
|
||||
|
||||
>>> data = {
|
||||
'album_name': 'The Grey Album',
|
||||
'artist': 'Danger Mouse',
|
||||
'tracks': [
|
||||
{'order': 1, 'title': 'Public Service Announcement'},
|
||||
{'order': 2, 'title': 'What More Can I Say'},
|
||||
{'order': 3, 'title': 'Encore'},
|
||||
],
|
||||
}
|
||||
>>> serializer = AlbumSerializer(data=data)
|
||||
>>> serializer.is_valid()
|
||||
True

# Custom relational fields
|
||||
|
||||
To implement a custom relational field, you should override `RelatedField`, and implement the `.to_representation(self, value)` method. This method takes the target of the field as the `value` argument, and should return the representation that should be used to serialize the target. The `value` argument will typically be a model instance.
