Insert data into multiple models when doing POST method

[thiagarajan.kpt]

Hi,

I have two models (Patients and PatientAddress). I want to create a new patient using POST method and data should be inserted in Patient and PatientAddress tables. But the data is inserted only into Patients table and not in PatientAddress table.

When I POST a new patient with Address then automatically it should create a new record in PatientAddress table with patnt_refno referencing to the Patient table. Could someone please assist to proceed further.

Below is my code.

POST Input:

    {

        "Address": [

            {

                "line": "3A insert Second Street",

                "city": "insert city",

                "country": "India"

            }

        ],

        "patnt_id": "P14",

        "surname": "Smith",

        "forename": "James",

        "gender": "M",

        "active": 1

    }

models.py

class Patients(models.Model):

    patnt_refno = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

    patnt_id = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=10, blank=True, null=True)

    surname = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True, null=True)

    forename = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, blank=True, null=True)

    dttm_of_birth = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)

    dttm_of_death = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)

    marital_status = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

    active = models.IntegerField()

    def __str__(self):

        return self.patnt_id

    class Meta:

        managed = False

        db_table = 'patients'

class PatientAddress(models.Model):

    addss_refno = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

    patnt_refno = models.ForeignKey('Patients', db_column='patnt_refno', related_name='Address')

    line = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True, null=True)

    city = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

    state = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

    country = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

    postcode = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, null=True)

    active = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)

    class Meta:

        managed = False

        db_table = 'patientaddress'

serializers.py

class PatientAddressSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    

    class Meta:

        model = PatientAddress

        fields = ('line','city','country')

class PatientsSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    Address = PatientAddressSerializer(read_only=True,many=True)

    

    class Meta:

        model = Patients

        fields = ('Address','patnt_refno','patnt_id','surname','forename','gender','active')

views.py

class PatientsList(APIView):

    

    def get(self, request):

        patients = Patients.objects.filter(gender='M',active=1).order_by('dttm_of_birth').reverse()

        serializer = PatientsSerializer(patients, many=True)

        return Response(serializer.data)

    

    def post(self, request):

        serializer = PatientsSerializer(data=request.data)

        if serializer.is_valid():

            serializer.save()

            return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)

        return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)

urls.py

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

    url(r'^patients/$', views.PatientsList.as_view()),

]

Thanks in advance,

Hello!

​As my initial understanding, you are attempting to use some sort of Django REST Framework.

Check the django-rest-framework documentation for some insights: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/serializers/

You will need to overwrite the .create method of the Patient Model and the .create method of the Serializer.

Hope it helps!​
