django tastypie update two models

问题

I have a problem with tastypie regarding updates to two models with one (POST) api call.

We have two models, an user model and a candidate model which references the user model. We want to publish the candidate model via the api interface, but want to hide the user model. So, as a first step I merge the user model fields with the candidate model fields in the dehydrate process. This is working completly fine.

The problem is, that I can't figure out, how to do it the other way round (hydrate and create both models. we need to create a seperate user model and cant just merge both models)

Would be nice if you showed us some code and what have you tried, but for this kind of task you should probably override the obj_create(...) method of tastypie.resources.ModelResource class.

It looks like this:

    def obj_create(self, bundle, request=None, **kwargs):
        """
        A ORM-specific implementation of ``obj_create``.
        """
        bundle.obj = self._meta.object_class()

        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(bundle.obj, key, value)

        bundle = self.full_hydrate(bundle)

        # Save FKs just in case.
        self.save_related(bundle)

        # Save the main object.
        bundle.obj.save()

        # Now pick up the M2M bits.
        m2m_bundle = self.hydrate_m2m(bundle)
        self.save_m2m(m2m_bundle)
        return bundle

So in your resource you could have something like:

from tastypie.resources import ModelResource

class MyResource( ModelResource ):

    def obj_create( self, bundle, request = None, **kwargs ):
        # ...
        # create User instance based on what's in the bundle
        # user = ...
        # ...
        # kwargs[ 'user' ] = user < will be set on Candidate instance in super()
        # ...

        # call super, resulting in creation of the Candidate model
        super( MyResource, self ).obj_create( self, bundle, request, **kwargs )

And this should get you started. If you have any trouble, please ask a question and provide some code.
