Also, this isn't enough...
It would be better/cooler to be able to give "extra" fields and "fields
you DON'T want". The extra could be a callback used on each item in the
sequence:
# note, this is a pretty dumb example :-)
def generate_extra_user_data(user):
return {
"user_tags": [tag.name for tag in user.tag_set.all()],
"username_uppercase": user.username.upper(),
}
serializers.serialize('json',
my_user_set,
extra=generate_extra_user_data,
hidden=["password", "email"])
Now one could go even one step further and add the
generate_extra_user_data and 'hidden' to -for example- the Meta of your
models and call it automatically from the serializer.
