Hello all. Say I have some models like these:
class Image(models.Model):
file = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_image_path)
class Line(models.Model):
image = models.ForeignKey(Image)
color = models.CharField(max_length=20)
width = models.IntegerField()
class Point(models.Model):
line = models.ForeignKey(Line)
ordering = models.IntegerField()
x = models.IntegerField()
y = models.IntegerField()
And I want to load an image and all its lines into the interface, add
and remove lines, and then send it back to the controller.
What's the django-ish way to serialize data like this?
The default serializers doesn't seem to do relationships. I saw
discussion[1] of one that does foreign keys but it seems to be going
to in the opposite direction I want (and it doesn't deserialize yet?).
Stepping back, is this sort of thing that you'd be expected to do with
a custom serializer? Or is it better to just serialize each set of
data separately and save them separately. I started by using
simplejson directly but then was wondering about the built-in
serialization code in Django.
Disclaimer: I'm starting on my first real Django project so I still
have limited knowledge the framework. :)
I'm using 1.0.2.
Thanks!
Jason
