Editing django-rest-framework serializer object before save

Question

I want to edit a django-rest-framwork serializer object before it is saved. This is how I currently do it -

def upload(request):
    if reque

You can edit the serializer's object before save the serializer:

if serializer.is_valid():
    serializer.object.user_id = 15 # <----- this line
    serializer.save()
