djangorestframeworkincludemixin 0.4
Django REST framework light includable serializer fields
Requirements
Python (2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6)
Django REST Framework (>=3.0)
Usage
serializers.py
class GroupSerializer(SerializerIncludeMixin, ModelSerializer):
@classproperty # django.utils.decorators
def extra_objects(cls):
return {
'users': UserSerializer(source='user_set', many=True),
'active_users': UserSerializer(many=True),
}
class Meta:
model = Group
fields = ('id', 'name')
views.py
class GroupViewSet(QueryOptimizerMixin, ReadOnlyModelViewSet):
"""
Groups.
list:
Available includable objects:
* users - all users;
* active_users - only active users.
"""
queryset = Group.objects.all()
serializer_class = GroupSerializer
select_related = {}
prefetch_related = {
'users': 'user_set',
'active_users': Prefetch(
lookup='user_set',
queryset=User.objects.filter(is_active=True),
to_attr='active_users',
),
}
And now we can to do that:
client = APIClient()
response = client.get( # GET /groups/?include[]=active_users
'/groups/',
data=[
('include[]', 'active_users'),
],
)
This will make only 2 query:
all groups
prefetch only active users
Documentation
rest_framework_include_mixin.SerializerIncludeMixin
Used in any serializer to automatically replace and add serializer fields.
extra_objects class variable
key:str - value from GET parameter include[].
For example, profile for /users/?include[]=profile.
value:Serializer - any field serializer.
Example:
class UserSerializer(SerializerIncludeMixin, ModelSerializer):
extra_objects = {
'profile': ProfileSerializer(),
'groups': GroupSerializer(many=True),
}
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('id', 'profile_id')
GET parameters
Result serializer fields
'id': IntegerField(), 'profile_id': IntegerField()
?include[]=profile
'id': IntegerField(), 'profile': ProfileSerializer()
?include[]=groups
'id': IntegerField(), 'profile_id': IntegerField(), 'groups': GroupSerializer(many=True)
?include[]=profile&include[]=groups
'id': IntegerField(), 'profile': ProfileSerializer(), 'groups': GroupSerializer(many=True)
Note: standard serializer fields with/without _id will be replaced to field from extra_objects.
For ?include[]=profile: profile and profile_id will be replaced to profile from extra_objects.
