django-rest-framework how to make model serializer fields required

Question

I have a model that I\'m filling out step by step, it means I\'m making a form wizard.

Because of that most fields in this model are required but have null=Tru

Answer 1

The best option according to docs here is to use extra_kwargs in class Meta, For example you have UserProfile model that stores phone number and is required

class UserProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = ('phone_number',)
        extra_kwargs = {'phone_number': {'required': True}}
