Hi there, this is my first post on Google groups so forgive me if I have
not followed proper etiquette.
I am in the process of building an API with DRF and so far things are going
well.
I decided originally to use HyperlinkedModelSerializer for my serializers
because the URLs are a really great feature on the browsable API.
The issue I am having now is I need to send the URL for the related fields
and I would rather send the IDs.
Given this I have decided to keep the url for the specific resource being
requested and use the IDs for the related objects.
Is it valid to use a ModelSerializer and include a url field in the fields
and add the view_name in the extra_kwargs like the example below.
class MySerializer(serializer.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = MyModel
fields = ('url', 'user_id', 'other_fields')
extra_kwargs = {
'url': {'view_name': 'view name here'}
}
Or should I rather use a HyperLinkedModelSerializer and explicitly set the
related objects to PrimaryKeyRelatedFields?
I appreciate any feedback.
Regards,
Bradley
