I have two models as below
dealer
class MerchantProfile(StateModel):
class Meta:
verbose_name = "Merchant Profile"
ordering = ('name',)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % (self.name,)
user = models.OneToOneField(UserProfile, related_name="merchant_profile")
payment_card = models.OneToOneField(PaymentCard, related_name="merchant_profile")
current_state = models.IntegerField('State', choices=STATE_CHOICES)
name = models.CharField('Merchant Name', max_length=64)
Category
class Category(models.Model):
merchant = models.ForeignKey(MerchantProfile, related_name="category")
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
is_active=models.BooleanField()
I have a resource file as shown below
Child resource
class MerchantCategoryResource(ModelResource):
api_key = fields.CharField(attribute='merchant__user__api_key', readonly=True)
class Meta:
queryset = Category.objects.all()
resource_name = 'merchantcategory'
detail_allowed_methods = ['get']
default_format = "application/json"
filtering = {
'user_id': ALL,
'api_key':ALL
}
Parent resource
class MerchantAllResource(ModelResource):
category = fields.ToManyField(MerchantCategoryResource,'category')
class Meta:
queryset = MerchantProfile.objects.all()
resource_name = 'merchantinfo'
detail_allowed_methods = ['get']
default_format = "application/json"
filtering = {
'user_id': ALL,
'api_key':ALL
}
Output signal
{"meta": {"limit": 20, "next": null, "offset": 0, "previous": null, "total_count": 1}, "objects": [{"category": ["/api/ecp/merchantcategory/1/"], "create_time": "2012-08-17T12:56:55", "current_state": 1, "id": 1, "modified_time": "2012-08-17T12:56:55", "name": "ram", "resource_uri": "/api/ecp/merchantinfo/1/", "utcStateCreated": null, "utcStateDisabled": null, "utcStateEnabled": null, "utcStateUnsubscribed": null}]
I need it as follows
{"meta": {"limit": 20, "next": null, "offset": 0, "previous": null, "total_count": 1}, "objects": [{"category": ["id": 1, "is_active": true, "name": "test1", "resource_uri": "/api/ecp/merchantcategory/1/"], "create_time": "2012-08-17T12:56:55", "current_state": 1, "id": 1, "modified_time": "2012-08-17T12:56:55", "name": "ram", "resource_uri": "/api/ecp/merchantinfo/1/", "utcStateCreated": null, "utcStateDisabled": null, "utcStateEnabled": null, "utcStateUnsubscribed": null}]
In the bottom line: "I want to call all related objects with one hell of rest, instead of calling a separate rest api that needs several requests"
