Hello Django community o/
I want to create a API call in order to get all data from a specific model ( table ) - but I want to exclude-remove only specific fields from this.
So, I try to find a right way to execute this difficult and "heavy" query/request with a efficient way.
This is what I have achieved so far:
```
#from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect, JsonResponse
#from django.core import serializers
from apples.models import Apple
from oranges.models import Orange
published_fruits = Apple.objects.select_related('Orange').filter(state='published').defer(
# Fields I don't want:
'field1',
'field2',
'field3'
)
So, I have the following results:
[
{
"model": "apples.apple",
"pk": "5326t236-8415-48f4-89e5-1789vc9of442",
"fields": {
"id": "apple-type1",
"name": "Brazil",
".....": "....",
"exports ": []
}
},
{ ... }
{
"model": "apples.apple",
"pk": "6435673472-fret2-523t-523t-d41159t23432213",
"fields": {
"id": "apple-type2",
"name": "India",
".....": "....",
"exports ": []
}
}
]
```
My proble is :
1. The fields who I don't want (exclude), finally I got it.
2. I want to directly pass all this response to a JSON http output for the users and I have it with the following way:
```
json_response = serializers.serialize('json', published_fruits)
return HttpResponse(json_response, content_type='application/json')
```
I get all the respone in JSON, but ( as you can see above ) with the following stracture:
```
{
"model": "apples.apple",
"pk": "6435673472-fret2-523t-523t-d41159t23432213",
"fields": {
"id": "apple-type2",
"name": "India",
".....": "....",
"exports ": []
}
}
```
Please, could you help me to avoid the following part from each record :
```
"model": "apples.apple",
"pk": "6435673472-fret2-523t-523t-d41159t23432213",
"fields": {
```
from the JSON ?
Thank you very much in advance!
