I'm using a nested serializer in another serializer and I have two models Object
and ObjectMedia
see the following code:
class ObjectMediaSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
media_address = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
class Meta:
model = ObjectMedia
fields = ["media_address", "type"]
class ObjectAddEditSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
slug = serializers.SlugField(read_only=True)
object_medias = ObjectMediaSerializer(many=True, required=True)
class Meta:
model = Program
fields = [
"slug",
"object_medias",
]
I want to add object media in two fields(separated by their type) like below but I don't know how it is possible:
{
"slug":"my_slug",
"object_media_type1": [
{
"media_address ": "somewhere",
"type":TYPE1
}
],
"object_media_type2": [
{
"media_address ": "somewhere",
"type":TYPE2
},
{
"media_address ": "somewhere\else",
"type":TYPE2
}]
}
Thanks for reading

You can do this using a SerializerMethodField
:
class ObjectAddEditSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
slug = serializers.SlugField(read_only=True)
object_media_type1 = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
object_media_type2 = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
def get_object_media_type1(self, instance):
return ObjectMediaSerializer(instance.object_medias.filter(type="type1"), many=True).data
def get_object_media_type2(self, instance):
return ObjectMediaSerializer(instance.object_medias.filter(type="type2"), many=True).data
class Meta:
model = Program
fields = [
"slug",
"object_media_type1",
"object_media_type2",
]
Be aware that they are read-only. Official docs here.
