GitHub - Joel-hanson/advanced-serializer-usage: This code is to show how we can do one of the advanced serializer usages called Dynamically modification fields. Dynamic modifying fields can make a Django rest framework API act like graphQL endpoint by retrieving only the required fields from the model, which is our primary goal for this article. Once a serializer has been initialized, the dictionary of fields that are set on the serializer may be accessed using the .fieldsattribute. Accessing and modifying this attribute allows you to dynamically modify the serializer. Modifying the fields argument directly allows you to do interesting things such as changing the arguments on serializer fields at runtime, rather than at the point of declaring the serializer. The example we are using to demonstrate dynamically modifying fields will have a Book model which has Publisher and Author as foreign relations.
