About decorator

serializer_dumps decorator is based on the assignment of fields in the serializer to generate a dict, for SerializerMethodField, the definition is made by OpenApiTypes or the usual python type hints.

• Optional parameters:
  • exclude_fields Exclude a number of serializer fields when generating a dictionary.
  • renew_type_value Generate a new uuid and datetime, date, time when calling the function.
  • extend_type_map Expand the type dictionary to default values, new types and their values, or redefine existing types and their values.

Usage example

Example 1

from rest_framework import serializers
from drf_serializer_dumps.decorators import serializer_dumps


class PersonCars(serializers.Serializer):
    car_name = serializers.CharField()
    car_price = serializers.IntegerField()


class PersonSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    name = serializers.CharField()
    age = serializers.IntegerField()
    cars = PersonCars(many=True)


result = serializer_dumps(PersonSerializer)
print(result)
>>> {'name': 'string', 'age': 1, 'cars': [{'car_name': 'string', 'car_price': 1}]}

Example 2

from rest_framework import serializers
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
from drf_serializer_dumps.decorators import serializer_dumps


class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    phones = ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=256))


class PersonSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Person
        fields = '__all__'


result = serializer_dumps(PersonSerializer)
print(result)
>>> {'id': 1, 'name': 'string', 'phones': ['string']}
