drf-inline

A serializer mixin for Django REST Framework. It can dynamically inline objects via Django relation fields ForeignKey, ManyToManyField, OneToOneField and even GenericForeignKey. This allows create complex documents on the fly.

Requirements

• Python (tested with 3.4, 3.5)
• Django (tested with 1.8, 1.9, 1.10)
• Django REST Framework (tested with 3.2, 3.3)

Quick start

• inherit from InlinerSerializerMixin
• register serializer for future inlining with singular and plural like this: register_inline(singular_name, plural_name, ModelSerializer)
• request related objects via inline parameter Syntax: ?inline=model1.submodel2.submodel3,model2,model3

Example

register_inline(POSTCODE, POSTCODES, PostcodeSerializer)
register_inline(ADDRESS, ADDRESSES, FullAddressSerializer)
register_inline(USER, USERS, UserSerializer)

request
/api/users?inline=address.postcode

result - users with inlined addresses, addresses with inlined postcodes
