Get current user in Model Serializer

Question

Is it possible to get the current user in a model serializer? I\'d like to do so without having to branch away from generics, as it\'s an otherwise simple task that must be done

Answer 1

I modified the request.data:

serializer = SectionSerializer(data=add_profile_data(request.data, request.user))

def add_profile_data(data, user):
    data['user'] = user.profile.id
    return data
