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

Updating the image field in the serializer to use_url=True worked for me:

class PictureSerialiser(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    image = serializers.ImageField(
            max_length=None, use_url=True
        )
    class Meta:
        model = Picture
        fields = ('field', 'image')

I wasn't able to get the currently accepted answer (adding a custom get_image_url method to the serializer) to work in Django 2.2. I was getting error messages that I needed to update my model to include the field image_url. Even after updating the model it wasn't working.
