How to encapsulate Resource

[pawel]

Hi all!

For example, I have a view that returns DjangoUser class instances. I have defined a UserResource with model=DjangoUser, specified relevant fields, etc....

So I have a working UserView and Resource. It returns data in JSON. That is correct. Like: [......]

Now I would like to return the same data with additional info. Like: {'users':[......],'status':'My additional info'}

How to achieve that without too much hassle ?

You can have nested resources, like so:

class UserResource(ModelResource): 

    model=User

class ResponseResource(Resource):

    fields = (

        'status,

        ('users': UserResource'), 

    )

class UserView(View):

    resource = ResponseResource

    def post(request):

        users = User.objects.filter(....)
        return { 'status': 'done', 'users': users }
