One-To-Many Model Serializer not displaying object in django rest framework
I have a one to many model in django rest framework. Video is the parent and Tags are the child, I'm trying to display all the tags in the Video serializer.
class Video(Base):
video = models.FileField(null=True, blank=True)
thumbnail = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True)
class Tag(Base):
video = models.ForeignKey(Video, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='tags')
text = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
score = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, blank=True, null=True)
In my serializer I have this,
class VideoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
video = serializers.FileField(max_length=None, use_url=True, allow_null=True, required=False)
thumbnail = serializers.ImageField(max_length=None, use_url=True, allow_null=True, required=False)
class Meta:
model = Video
fields = ('id', 'video', 'thumbnail', 'tags')
The problem is that the serialized data only show the id
for the Tags. Any help appreciated.
Solution 1:
You have to add serializer for tag.
For example:
class TagSerializer(Base):
class Meta:
model = Tag
fields = ('id', 'text', 'score')
Change VideoSerializer
into something like this:
class VideoSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
video = serializers.FileField(max_length=None, use_url=True, allow_null=True, required=False)
thumbnail = serializers.ImageField(max_length=None, use_url=True, allow_null=True, required=False)
tags = TagSerializer(many=True)
class Meta:
model = Video
fields = ('id', 'video', 'thumbnail', 'tags')
