I have a ModelSerializer that I wish to require certain fields, even though it is possible for the model it is based on to have null values for those fields.
However, I cannot instantiate a serializer like this: `s = MySerializer(model_instance)` and then call `s.is_valid()` since that method only works if I initialized the serializer with a dictionary. If I just create the serializer and grab the data from it without attempting to call is_valid, it does not respect the constraints in the serializer itself. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django REST framework" group.
