Django REST Framework and FileField absolute url

Question

I\'ve defined a simple Django app that includes the following model:

class Project(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    thumbnail =         


        

Answer 1

In my case, override to_representation method works right.

# models.py
class DailyLove(models.Model):
    content = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
    pic = models.FileField(upload_to='upload/api/media/DailyLove/')
    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_created=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.date)

# serializers.py
class DailyLoveSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
    def to_representation(self, instance):
        representation = super(DailyLoveSerializer, self).to_representation(instance)
        representation['pic_url'] = self.context['request'].build_absolute_uri('/' + instance.pic.url)
        return representation

    class Meta:
        model = DailyLove
        fields = '__all__'

# views.py
class DailyLoveViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = DailyLove.objects.all().order_by('-date')
    serializer_class = DailyLoveSerializer

# result
HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept
