Pass extra arguments to Serializer Class in Django Rest Framework

by

It’s very easy with “context” arg for “ModelSerializer” constructor.

For example:

in view:

my_objects = MyModelSerializer(
    input_collection, 
    many=True, 
    context={'user_id': request.user.id}
).data

in serializers:

class MyModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
...

    is_my_object = serializers.SerializerMethodField('_is_my_find')
...

    def _is_my_find(self, obj):
        user_id = self.context.get("user_id")
        if user_id:
            return user_id in obj.my_objects.values_list("user_id", flat=True)
        return False
...

so you can use “self.context” for getting extra params.
