DRF endpoint returns weirdly serialized object although it is fetch correctly in the view-CodePudding

So I'm using

and Postman returns

But the data should be:

# models.py

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    """
    Extends Base User via 1-1 for profile information
    """
    # Relations
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    company = models.ForeignKey(Company, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)

    # Roles
    is_ta = models.BooleanField(default=False)  # indicates if user is part of TA department

    def __str__(self):
        return F'{self.user.first_name} {self.user.last_name}'


@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def update_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)
    instance.userprofile.save()

# serializers.py

class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = '__all__'

CodePudding user response：

You are incorrectly fetching the UserProfile instance, instead of:

user_profile = UserProfile(user=request.user)

try:

user_profile = UserProfile.objects.get(user=request.user)

UPD: In order to create a nested representation either set depth attribute in Meta of your serializer:

class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = '__all__'
        depth = 1

or create a separate serializer for your related fields, e.g.:

class CompanySerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Company
        fields = your_fields

and set the serializer as field:

class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    company = CompanySerializer()

    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = '__all__'
