Accessing queryset in serializer

[Mathias Nielsen]

Hi

I am trying do use this approach https://medium.com/quant-five/speed-up-django-nested-foreign-key-serializers-w-prefetch-related-ae7981719d3f#04cf to handle nested relationship. We have a lot of those and I would like to automate the handling of these as much as possible.

The linked solution is okay, but involves calling that method in all views and that is just a lot of extra work. The serializer has access to all the information needed to perform this task I think, but I cannot get access to the queryset in order to actually make the changes.

For context: I am building a custom serializer that inherits from ModelSerializer, that is to be used whenever this kind of behavior is required.

Can someone point me to a place where I can intercept (and change) the queryset on the serializer instance?

Not sure this is useful, but https://django-rest-framework-json-api.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ has this already by default. This assumes you want to use jsonapi.org serialization....
