Return image url in Django Rest Framework

Question

I am using Django Rest Framework and have the following model:

class Picture(models.Model):
    some_field = models.ForeignKey(some_model)
    image = models         


        

Answer 1

You could do this with a custom serializer method like so:

class PictureSerialiser(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    image_url = serializers.SerializerMethodField('get_image_url')

    class Meta:
        model = Picture
        fields = ('field', 'image', 'image_url')

    def get_image_url(self, obj):
        return obj.image.url
