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

Another option is to use required and trim_whitespace if you're using a CharField:

class CustomObjectSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    name = serializers.CharField(required=True, trim_whitespace=True)
