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

Use Serializers! Have a validate_fieldname method!

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = (
            'id', 'username', 'password', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email'
        )
        extra_kwargs = {
            'password': {'write_only': True},
            'username': {'read_only': True}
        }

    def validate_password(self, value):
        try:
            validate_password(value)
        except ValidationError as exc:
            raise serializers.ValidationError(str(exc))
        return value

    def create(self, validated_data):
        user = super().create(validated_data)
        user.set_password(validated_data['password'])

        user.is_active = False
        user.save()
        return user

    def update(self, instance, validated_data):
        user = super().update(instance, validated_data)
        if 'password' in validated_data:
            user.set_password(validated_data['password'])
            user.save()
        return user
