Desired Behavior
User lookup happens by the username: /api/users/randall
Speaker lookup happens by the username as well: /api/speakers/randall
Constraints
Not all users are speakers. All speakers are users.
models.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Speaker(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
serializers.py
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('url', 'username', 'email', 'groups')
lookup_field = 'username'
class SpeakerSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
user = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
view_name='user-detail',
read_only=True,
lookup_field='username'
)
class Meta:
model = Speaker
lookup_field = 'user'
views.py
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
lookup_field = 'username'
class SpeakerViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Speaker.objects.all().select_related('user')
serializer_class = SpeakerSerializer
lookup_field = "user"
I've tried various different invocations of lookup_field and serializer types to get this working to no avail. It may not be possible without a lot more code. I'm just wondering what direction I can take.
This is how I managed to hack it
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Speaker(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
@property
def user__username(self):
return self.user.username
def __unicode__(self):
return self.user.username
from .models import Speaker
from rest_framework import serializers
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('url', 'username', 'email', 'groups')
lookup_field = 'username'
class SpeakerSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
user = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
view_name='user-detail',
read_only=True,
lookup_field='username'
)
class Meta:
model = Speaker
fields = ('url', 'user')
lookup_field = 'user__username'
from .models import Speaker
from .serializers import SpeakerSerializer, UserSerializer
from rest_framework import viewsets
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
lookup_field = 'username'
class SpeakerViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = Speaker.objects.all().select_related('user')
serializer_class = SpeakerSerializer
lookup_field = 'user__username'
