|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>Serializer fields handle converting between primative values and internal datatypes. They also deal with validating input values, as well as retrieving and setting the values from their parent objects.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The serializer fields are declared in fields.py, but by convention you should import them using <code>from rest_framework import serializers</code> and refer to fields as <code>serializers.<FieldName></code>.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<h1 id="generic-fields">Generic Fields</h1>
|
|
<p>These generic fields are used for representing arbitrary model fields or the output of model methods.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="field">Field</h2>
|
|
<p>A generic, <strong>read-only</strong> field. You can use this field for any attribute that does not need to support write operations.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, using the following model.</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>class Account(models.Model):
|
|
owner = models.ForeignKey('auth.user')
|
|
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
|
|
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
|
|
payment_expiry = models.DateTimeField()
|
|
|
|
def has_expired(self):
|
|
now = datetime.datetime.now()
|
|
return now > self.payment_expiry
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>A serializer definition that looked like this:</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>class AccountSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
|
|
expired = Field(source='has_expired')
|
|
|
|
class Meta:
|
|
fields = ('url', 'owner', 'name', 'expired')
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Would produced output similar to:</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>{
|
|
'url': 'http://example.com/api/accounts/3/',
|
|
'owner': 'http://example.com/api/users/12/',
|
|
'name': 'FooCorp business account',
|
|
'expired': True
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Be default, the <code>Field</code> class will perform a basic translation of the source value into primative datatypes, falling back to unicode representations of complex datatypes when neccesary.</p>
|
|
<p>You can customize this behaviour by overriding the <code>.to_native(self, value)</code> method.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="writablefield">WritableField</h2>
|
|
<p>A field that supports both read and write operations. By itself <code>WriteableField</code> does not perform any translation of input values into a given type. You won't typically use this field directly, but you may want to override it and implement the <code>.to_native(self, value)</code> and <code>.from_native(self, value)</code> methods.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="modelfield">ModelField</h2>
|
|
<p>A generic field that can be tied to any arbitrary model field. The <code>ModelField</code> class delegates the task of serialization/deserialization to it's associated model field. This field can be used to create serializer fields for custom model fields, without having to create a new custom serializer field.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Signature:</strong> <code>ModelField(model_field=<Django ModelField class>)</code></p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<h1 id="typed-fields">Typed Fields</h1>
|
|
<p>These fields represent basic datatypes, and support both reading and writing values.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="booleanfield">BooleanField</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="charfield">CharField</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="emailfield">EmailField</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="datefield">DateField</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="datetimefield">DateTimeField</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="integerfield">IntegerField</h2>
|
|
<h2 id="floatfield">FloatField</h2>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<h1 id="relational-fields">Relational Fields</h1>
|
|
<p>Relational fields are used to represent model relationships. They can be applied to <code>ForeignKey</code>, <code>ManyToManyField</code> and <code>OneToOneField</code> relationships, as well as to reverse relationships, and custom relationships such as <code>GenericForeignKey</code>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="relatedfield">RelatedField</h2>
|
|
<p>This field can be applied to any of the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A <code>ForeignKey</code> field.</li>
|
|
<li>A <code>OneToOneField</code> field.</li>
|
|
<li>A reverse OneToOne relationship</li>
|
|
<li>Any other "to-one" relationship.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>By default <code>RelatedField</code> will represent the target of the field using it's <code>__unicode__</code> method.</p>
|
|
<p>You can customise this behaviour by subclassing <code>ManyRelatedField</code>, and overriding the <code>.to_native(self, value)</code> method.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="manyrelatedfield">ManyRelatedField</h2>
|
|
<p>This field can be applied to any of the following:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A <code>ManyToManyField</code> field.</li>
|
|
<li>A reverse ManyToMany relationship.</li>
|
|
<li>A reverse ForeignKey relationship</li>
|
|
<li>Any other "to-many" relationship.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>By default <code>ManyRelatedField</code> will represent the targets of the field using their <code>__unicode__</code> method.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, given the following models:</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>class TaggedItem(models.Model):
|
|
"""
|
|
Tags arbitrary model instances using a generic relation.
|
|
|
|
See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/contenttypes/
|
|
"""
|
|
tag = models.SlugField()
|
|
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
|
|
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
|
|
content_object = GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
|
|
|
|
def __unicode__(self):
|
|
return self.tag
|
|
|
|
class Bookmark(models.Model):
|
|
"""
|
|
A bookmark consists of a URL, and 0 or more descriptive tags.
|
|
"""
|
|
url = models.URLField()
|
|
tags = GenericRelation(TaggedItem)
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>And a model serializer defined like this:</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>class BookmarkSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
|
|
tags = serializers.ManyRelatedField(source='tags')
|
|
|
|
class Meta:
|
|
model = Bookmark
|
|
exclude = ('id',)
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The an example output format for a Bookmark instance would be:</p>
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-py"><code>{
|
|
'tags': [u'django', u'python'],
|
|
'url': u'https://www.djangoproject.com/'
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="primarykeyrelatedfield">PrimaryKeyRelatedField</h2>
|
|
<p>As with <code>RelatedField</code> field can be applied to any "to-one" relationship, such as a <code>ForeignKey</code> field.</p>
|
|
<p><code>PrimaryKeyRelatedField</code> will represent the target of the field using it's primary key.</p>
|
|
<p>Be default, <code>PrimaryKeyRelatedField</code> is read-write, although you can change this behaviour using the <code>readonly</code> flag.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="manyprimarykeyrelatedfield">ManyPrimaryKeyRelatedField</h2>
|
|
<p>As with <code>RelatedField</code> field can be applied to any "to-many" relationship, such as a <code>ManyToManyField</code> field, or a reverse <code>ForeignKey</code> relationship.</p>
