[DRF] Serializing a field of type choice

[ezequia...@gmail.com]

Hey guys

Could you help me with a Django Rest Framework question?

I have a field in my model that has possible input values, so I'm using the choices= attribute in my model.

I'm having difficulty serializing the return of this data in drf.

Could someone give me a hint on how best to implement this, please?

Sincerely

Hezekiah Rock

Here is my attempt:

question_type = (

     (1, 'Discussion'),

     (2, 'Multiple Choice'),

     (3, 'Writing'),

     (4, 'Objective'),

     (5, 'True or False'),

     (6, 'Practice'),

)

model.py

class Question(models.Model):

    de_description = models.TextField(max_length=255)

    cd_type_of_question = models.IntegerField(blank=False, verbose_name='Tipo de Questão', choices=question_type )

serializers.py

class QuestionFullSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):  

    cd_type_of_question  = serializers.ListField(child=serializers.CharField())

    class Meta:

        model = Question

        fields = ('id', ' de_description', 'cd_type_of_question')

You must me getting the keys of your choices rather than your choice text , you can override the field  with serializer method field  and return your text according to your choice key.

I solved the problem using a SerializerMethodField.

Thank you anyone.
