HyperlinkedModelSerializer
The HyperlinkedModelSerializer class is similar to the ModelSerializer class except that it uses hyperlinks to represent relationships, rather than primary keys. By default the serializer will include a url field instead of a primary key field. The url field will be represented using a HyperlinkedIdentityField serializer field, and any relationships on the model will be represented using a HyperlinkedRelatedField serializer field.
Syntax :
Python3
class SerializerName(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer): class Meta: model = ModelName fields = List of Fields |
Example :
Python3
class AccountSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Account fields = ['id', 'account_name', 'users', 'created'] |
