ModelSerializer using model property

Question

I\'m trying to serialize a model containing a property field that I also want to serialize.

models.py:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = model         


        

Answer 1

as @Robert Townley's comment, this work with version 3.8.2:

class MyModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    ext_link = serializers.ReadOnlyField()

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = "__all__"

Answer 2

Because it's not a model field, it needs to be added explicitly to the serializer class

class MyModelSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    ext_link = serializers.Field()

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ('name', 'ext_link')
