How do you filter a nested serializer in Django Rest Framework?

by

You can subclass the ListSerializer and overwrite the to_representation method.

By default the to_representation method calls data.all() on the nested queryset. So you effectively need to make data = data.filter(**your_filters) before the method is called. Then you need to add your subclassed ListSerializer as the list_serializer_class on the meta of the nested serializer.

  1. subclass ListSerializer, overwriting to_representation and then calling super
  2. add subclassed ListSerializer as the meta list_serializer_class on the nested Serializer

Here is the relevant code for your sample.

class FilteredListSerializer(serializers.ListSerializer):

    def to_representation(self, data):
        data = data.filter(user=self.context['request'].user, edition__hide=False)
        return super(FilteredListSerializer, self).to_representation(data)


class EditionSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        list_serializer_class = FilteredListSerializer
        model = Edition


class QuestionnaireSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    edition = EditionSerializer(read_only=True)
    company = serializers.StringRelatedField(read_only=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Questionnaire
