I have made an api that returns an object as json data. I Am using the django-rest-framework and its serializer. Using the resources (ModelResource) I excluded some fields,
Ah, i just found it:
I need to add in the resource for all fields I want to show what resource....
fields = ('name', ("parent","MyObjectResource") , 'and all the other fields you want to see as well...')
I found it here: google groups forum question
You can skip the exlude, it ignores it, and just add the fields you want to show, you do not have to define them, unless you need to indicate what resource to use.
So following is the final code of the resource.py part:
class MyObjectResource(ModelResource):
model = MyObject
fields = ('name', ("parent","MyObjectResource"), 'and all the other fields you want to see as well...')
