AssertionError: `HyperlinkedIdentityField` requires the request in the serializer context

Question

I want to create a many-to-many relationship where one person can be in many clubs and one club can have many persons. I added the models.py and

Answer 1

I have two solutions...

urls.py

1) If you are using a router.register, you can add the base_name:

router.register(r'users', views.UserViewSet, base_name='users')
urlpatterns = [    
    url(r'', include(router.urls)),
]

2) If you have something like this:

urlpatterns = [    
    url(r'^user/$', views.UserRequestViewSet.as_view()),
]

You have to pass the context to the serializer:

views.py

class UserRequestViewSet(APIView):            
    def get(self, request, pk=None, format=None):
        user = ...    
        serializer_context = {
            'request': request,
        }
        serializer = api_serializers.UserSerializer(user, context=serializer_context)    
        return Response(serializer.data)

Like this you can continue to use the url on your serializer: serializers.py

...
url = serializers.HyperlinkedIdentityField(view_name="user")
...
