class RegSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
admin = serializers.SlugRelatedField(slug_field='username', read_only=True)
class Meta:

def __str__(self):
return f'{self.rooms},{self.last_name},{self.first_name},{self.room_bool}'
class Meta:

verbose_name_plural = 'Регистрация'
how can I make it so that the name of the user who registered room is indicated in the admin field and without the right to change only readonly?
can this be done at all?
thanks in advance for your reply

You can pass additional attributes to serilizer's save method. In your view, you can call serializer save() with admin argument like this:
def your_view(request):
# your code
serializer.save(admin=request.user)
Or if you want to do it on admin page, you can override your admin's save_model method. Also you should specify admin as a readonly:
class RegistrationAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
readonly_fields = ('admin',)
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
if not obj.pk:
# Only set admin during the first save.
obj.admin = request.user
super().save_model(request, obj, form, change)

I set serializers.HiddenField and by default set CurrentUserDefault() from serializers
automatically substitutes the value of the current admin and at the same time the admin field now goes to the api
class RegSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
admin = serializers.HiddenField(default=serializers.CurrentUserDefault())
class Meta:
model = Registration
exclude = ['price', 'visit_date']

Creating view with foreign key model django restframework

I'm fairly new with the django restframework.
I am trying to create a serializer and a view for a model that has a foreignKey.
Models.py
class Job(models.Model):
"""A Job used to create a job posting"""
user = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
)
description = models.TextField()
job_type = models.CharField(max_length=12, choices=JOB_TYPE_CHOICES, default='Full-Time')
city = models.CharField(max_length=255)
state = models.CharField(max_length=255)
created_date = models.DateField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=True)
salary = models.CharField(max_length=255)
position = models.CharField(max_length=255)
employer = models.CharField(max_length=255)
is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.description[:50]
class Applicant(models.Model):
"""A applicant that can apply to a job"""
job = models.ForeignKey(Job, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=254)
phone_number = PhoneNumberField()
resume = models.FileField(upload_to=resume_file_path, validators=[validate_file_extension])
def __str__(self):
return self.first_name
The idea is that Applicant will be able to apply to Job.
I can't seem to figure out how to get the Job id when a Applicant is applying to job.
serializers.py
class JobSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Serializer for tag objects"""
class Meta:
model = Job
fields = ('id', 'description', 'job_type', 'city', 'state', 'salary', 'position', 'employer', 'created_date', 'is_active')
read_only_fields = ('id',)
def create(self, validated_data):
"""Create a job posting with user and return it"""
return Job.objects.create(**validated_data)
class ApplyJobSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Serializer for applying to jobs"""
class Meta:
model = Applicant
fields = ('id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'phone_number', 'resume')
read_only_fields = ('id',)
views.py
class ApplyJobView(generics.CreateAPIView):
"""Allows applicants to apply for jobs"""
serializer_class = serializers.ApplyJobSerializer
Below is an image of my http://localhost:8000/api/jobPosting/apply/ url
I don't know how i can bring in the Jobs as in option to my view so I can obtain the id field.
I get the following error when POST
null value in column "job_id" violates not-null constraint

You are not passing job field in serializer fields. Try this:
class ApplyJobSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
"""Serializer for applying to jobs"""
class Meta:
model = Applicant
fields = ('id', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'phone_number', 'resume', 'job')
read_only_fields = ('id',)

Unable to register user - TypeError: Direct assignment to the reverse side of a related set is prohibited. Use searches.set() instead

I've set up my models, serializers and viewsets in my Django REST API to assign a search record to a particular user, and to associate all the relevant user's searches to their record in the User model. It was all working fine, but I'm now getting the TypeError error message (in the subject line of this question) when I try to create a new user. I've listed the relevant models, serializers and viewsets below. Please could anyone take a look and let me know where I'm going wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated.

In user = User.objects.create_user(**validated_data), validated_data contains a searches value which is an id.
But actually the ForeignKey is in the other sense : in Searches model, and to refer to a User instance, not the opposite.
To link a user to searches, it is not in User DB table that you write an id, but in Searches that you write a User id.
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

Unable to save relationship between two objects with Django Rest Framework

I am building a Django/React App to allow users to submit orders that need to go from A to B. The user initially saves the addresses in the database and then he/she selects it in the order form. When they submit I attempt to create a relationship in the database, I'm using Django Rest Framework serializers to create the Order object in the database.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to successfully save the items as I'm not properly linking the addresses to the order. Im getting the following error:
destinationAddress: ["Invalid value."]
originAddress: ["Invalid value."]
Models
class Order(models.Model):
originAddress = models.ForeignKey(Address, related_name="originAddress", null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
destinationAddress = models.ForeignKey(Address, related_name="destinationAddress", null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
packages = models.CharField("Packages", max_length=1024)
class Address(models.Model):
address_code = models.CharField(max_length=250)
contact = models.CharField("Contact", max_length=1024)
phone = models.CharField("Phone", max_length=20)
company = models.CharField("Company", max_length=250)
addressLine1 = models.CharField("Address line 1", max_length=1024)

Any ideas? Thanks

Solved it by replacing SlugRelatedField to PrimaryKeyRelatedField
class OrderSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
originAddress = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(
queryset=Address.objects.all(), allow_null=True, required=False
)
destinationAddress = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField(
queryset=Address.objects.all(), allow_null=True, required=False
)

model = Order
fields = ('id', 'packages', 'destinationAddress', 'originAddress')

Python Django rest-framework serializer omitting field

I'm facing a problem using python2.7 with django rest-framework. When I serialize my JSON data, a field is omitted by the serializer and I don't understand why. Here is some details.
The missing field is "country". When I'm doing POST or PUT requests on /campaigns/:id
class CampaignSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
created_by = UserFullSerializer(read_only=True)
country = CountrySerializer(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = Campaign
fields = ('id', 'created_by', 'name', 'media', 'status', 'begin', 'end', 'country')
class CampaignFullSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
client = ClientSerializer(read_only=True)
collection = CollectionSerializer(read_only=True)
created_by = UserFullSerializer(read_only=True)
updated_by = UserFullSerializer(read_only=True)
channels = ChannelSerializer(read_only=True, many=True)
country = CountrySerializer(read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = Campaign
fields = ('id',
'client',
'name',
'media',
'status',
'begin',
'end',
'created_at',
'created_by',
'updated_at',
'updated_by',
'collection',
'channels',
'country')
class CountrySerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Country
fields = ('id', 'name', 'code')
class Country(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
code = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class Campaign(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
media = models.IntegerField(choices=constant.MEDIA_CHOICES, default=0)
status = models.IntegerField(choices=constant.STATUS_CHOICES, default=2)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True, related_name="created_by")
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True, null=True)
updated_by = models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True, related_name="updated_by")
client = models.ForeignKey(client.Client)
begin = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
end = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
collection = models.ForeignKey(collection.Collection, blank=True, null=True)
country = models.ForeignKey(country.Country, blank=True, null=True)
mediaplan = models.ForeignKey(mediaplan.Mediaplan, blank=True, null=True, default=None)
channels = models.ManyToManyField(channel.Channel)
When I'm doing POST on /campaign/id with the following JSON, everything works except the country field.
{
...
"channels": [],
"country": {
"id": 74,
"name": "France",
"code": "FR"
}
On the controller side when I print the request.data I got all the fields. I'm not overriding the create method of the controller.
{
...
u'country': {u'code': u'AL', u'id': 3, u'name': u'Albania'}
}
My controller looks like:
class CampaignViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Campaign.objects.all()
serializer_class = CampaignSerializer
def create(self, request):
logger.info(request.data)
return super(CampaignViewSet, self).create(request, *args, **kwargs)
I tried to override the create method of my CountrySerializer and when I print the content of validated_data, the country field is missing in the OrderedDict..
class CountrySerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = Country
fields = ('id', 'name', 'code')
def create(self, validated_data):
logger.info(validated_data)
I'm really lost, I can't find my mistake, maybe you will. Thanks for your time.

Your CountrySerializer is read only as a nested serializer by default (per http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/relations/#nested-relationships) so you have to override the create/update method of the Campaign serializer for POST/PUT. You've tried to override it on the Country serializer instead.
