Django REST Framework: define fields in nested object?

Question

I got events that happen at locations:

class Event(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date_published = models.DateTimeField(\'pu

I have been to this and did not get a perfect solution, But I did something you may check for it.

This method will not create nested serializers

**class LocationSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):**
     class Meta:
          model = Location
          fields = (...)       #does not matter
          exclude = (...)      #does not matter

class EventSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):**
    loc_field_1 = serializers.CharField(required=False,*source='location.loc_field_1'*)
    loc_field_2 = serializers.CharField(required=False,*source='location.loc_field_2'*)

    ***#ADD YOUR DESIRE FIELD YOU WANT TO ACCESS FROM OTHER SERIALIZERS***


    class Meta:
        model = Event
        fields =('url','id','title','date_start','date_end','description', 'price', 'location')
