Django Rest Framework - Nested Serialization not working as expected

Question

While using Django-REST-Framework, I am not able to display selected fields in a nested serialized object.

I am correctly able to serialize the entirety of the Ad

Answer 1

Try this:

from rest_framework import serializers
from api_v1.models import Outlet, Address

class AddressSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Address
        fields = ('building', 'street',)
        depth = 3


class OutletSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    address = AddressSerializer(many=False) # make it address, not outlet_address

    class Meta:
        model = Outlet
        fields = ('id', 'name', 'thumbnail', 'address') # make this address as well, not outlet_address
        depth = 3

The reason I would make the changes above is because the Outlet model does not have an attribute called "outlet_address", it has an attribute called "address".
