Serializer

    id = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)
    title = serializers.CharField(required=False, allow_blank=True, max_length=100)

serializer class 는 Django의 Form class와 비슷.

required, max_length, default 같은 다양한 validation flags 들이 포함.

 

{'base_template': 'textarea.html'} flag는 Django Form의 widget=widgets.Textarea와 비슷

 

$ python manage.py shell
from snippets.models import Snippet
from snippets.serializers import SnippetSerializer
from rest_framework.renderers import JSONRenderer
from rest_framework.parsers import JSONParser

snippet = Snippet(code='foo = "bar"\n')
snippet.save()

snippet = Snippet(code='print("hello, world")\n')

# Python native datatypes로 변환
serializer = SnippetSerializer(snippet)
serializer.data
# {'id': 2, 'title': '', 'code': 'print("hello, world")\n', 'linenos': False, 'language': 'python', 'style': 'friendly'}

# Serialization: json 형태로 변환

content
# b'{"id": 2, "title": "", "code": "print(\\"hello, world\\")\\n", "linenos": false, "language": "python", "style": "friendly"}'

# Deserialization: Python native datatypes 형태로 parsing

# <Snippet: Snippet object>

# queryset을 이용하여 serialize 할 수 있다.
serializer = SnippetSerializer(Snippet.objects.all(), many=True)
serializer.data
# [OrderedDict([('id', 1), ('title', ''), ('code', 'foo = "bar"\n'), ('linenos', False), ('language', 'python'), ('style', 'friendly')]), OrderedDict([('id', 2), ('title', ''), ('code', 'print("hello, world")\n'), ('linenos', False), ('language', 'python'), ('style', 'friendly')]), OrderedDict([('id', 3), ('title', ''), ('code', 'print("hello, world")'), ('linenos', False), ('language', 'python'), ('style', 'friendly')])]

ModelSerializers

ModelForm classes와 비슷.

class SnippetSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Snippet
        fields = ['id', 'title', 'code', 'linenos', 'language', 'style']

from snippets.serializers import SnippetSerializer
serializer = SnippetSerializer()
print(repr(serializer))
# SnippetSerializer():
#    id = IntegerField(label='ID', read_only=True)
#    title = CharField(allow_blank=True, max_length=100, required=False)
#    code = CharField(style={'base_template': 'textarea.html'})
#    linenos = BooleanField(required=False)
#    language = ChoiceField(choices=[('Clipper', 'FoxPro'), ('Cucumber', 'Gherkin'), ('RobotFramework', 'RobotFramework'), ('abap', 'ABAP'), ('ada', 'Ada')...
#    style = ChoiceField(choices=[('autumn', 'autumn'), ('borland', 'borland'), ('bw', 'bw'), ('colorful', 'colorful')...

자동으로 Fields set을 결정

default create()와 update() 메소드를 구현
