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

if you cannot access extra context in your seriralizer using Viewsets, try register your router with a basename in urls.py:

router.register('projects', ProjectViewSet, basename='project')

you can use build_absolute_uri:

def get_thumbnail_url(self, obj):
    return self.context.get('request').build_absolute_uri(obj.thumbnail.url)
