Hyperlinking to a filtered list

[Brian Stempin]

Hi,

I'm trying to hyperlink to a filtered list.  Let's say I have these resources:  User and Transaction.  A User has many Transactions, and each Transaction has exactly one User.  Because a User could have hundreds of transactions, I don't want the user to serialize like this:

[{"id": 1, "transactions": [ hundreds of transaction URLs here ]}]

but rather like this:

[{"id": 1, "transactions": "http://server/transactions?user=1" }]

This way, the REST client could follow the URL and even apply additional filtering if it so desired.

Is there an easy way to do this?  I seem to not be having any luck with HyperlinkedRelatedField.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi,

I don’t think you could have an out of the box solution for it.
You need knowledge of the entry point url and the filter name.
The best solution I can think of being to make a property out of a function in the User that reverse the entry point url and add the filter yourself.
