• this is my models.py

class Polls(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="polls_data", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    question = models.TextField(max_length=250, blank=False, null=False)
    created_on = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
    active = models.BooleanField(default=True)


class Options(models.Model):
    poll = models.ForeignKey(Polls, related_name="options_data", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    option_text = models.CharField(max_length=255)


class Vote(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="vote_data", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    poll = models.ForeignKey(Polls, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    option = models.ForeignKey(Options, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

• this is my serializer.py

class OptionsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Options
        fields = ('id', 'poll_id', 'option_text')

class PollsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    
    options_data = OptionsSerializer(many=True, read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Polls
        fields = ('id','user_id', 'question', 'created_on', 'active',  'options_data')

CodePudding user response：

In your OptionsSerializeradd a field that takes the .count() of the option in question and divide by the count() of all answers for that question. (then multiply that by 100 to get to percentage)

class OptionsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    percentage_count = serializers.SerializerMethodField()

    ...

    def get_percentage_count(self, obj): 
       total_votes = Vote.objects.filter(poll=obj.poll).count()
       share_of_votes = Vote.objects.filter(option=obj).count()
       return Decimal(
           (share_of_answers / total) * 100
       ).quantize(Decimal('.01'))
