I didn't found in the Django docs and Source Code the reason for serialize=False
on primary key fields. Is there a special reason to set it?
Thanks
Azd325,
it is as simple as it sounds, this field will not be part of the serialized object..
Although, I guess your question concerns to models that are being migrated and have a generated ID with serialize=False, right? such as in here.. There isn't really a documentation on this because it is Django's engine trick to create an intrinsic ID since you decided not to declare an explicit ID for your object..
Some additions of tests I just made
Create a model without an explicit ID
class Model1Test(models.Model):
justafield = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
Migration results
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
dependencies = [
]
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Model1Test',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(verbose_name='ID', serialize=False, auto_created=True, primary_key=True)),
('justafield', models.CharField(max_length=1000)),
],
),
]
Database-level script
CREATE TABLE public.module1_model1test
(
id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('module1_model1test_id_seq'::regclass),
justafield character varying(1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT module1_model1test_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
Some good reasons to do that from Quassnoi:
