integrate django password validators with django rest framework validate_password

Question

I\'m trying to integrate django validators 1.9 with django rest framework serializers. But the serialized \'user\' (of django rest framework) is not compatible with the djan

Answer 1

You can access the user object through self.instance on the serializer object, even when doing field-level validation. Something like this should work:

 from django.contrib.auth import password_validation

 def validate_password(self, value):
    password_validation.validate_password(value, self.instance)
    return value
