Serializer context with viewsets

[AJ Ostergaard]

Is there a way to add serializer context when using viewsets? I'm referring to the functionality discussed here which is difficult to implement in a viewset where only the serializer class is defined. Could obviously be done by overriding all the methods but that would kinda miss the point of viewsets.

ViewSet instances should have a get_serializer_context(self) method which they inherit from the generic API views. Remember that ViewSet instances are generic API views using mixins with a little extra added on top for routing purposes.

Are ViewSet instances available from Serializers?

Hi,

Sure, that's the view passed within the serializer's context.

Ah - so the way to provide additional detail for the serializer is to override get_serializer_context() in the ViewSet and have it return the default context plus the additional custom detail - correct?

[Xavier Ordoquy]

Yes, that's correct.

Xavier,

Linovia.

Thanks! I'll push the details to the documentation so others get the benefit of your time.
