How to deal with nested objects via http POST request?

How to deal with nested objects via http POST request?

I have seen this section. So I understand how to deal with nested objects in shell.

But I don't know how to deal with nested objects in POST request...

This is my code.

And I imagine that Answer Object will be created by this way:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/questions -d "contents=How old are you?"

{"id": 1, "contents": "How old are you?"}

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/answers -d "question=1&contents=13"

{"id": 1, "contents": "13"}

But it doesn't....

Creating Question object is good.

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/questions -d "contents=How old are you?"

{"id": 1, "contents": "How old are you?"}

But Creating Answer object is not good.

I expected:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/answers -d "question=1&contents=13"

{"id": 1, "contents": "13"}

But actually I got:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/answers -d "question=1&contents=13" -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4'

{

    "category": [

        "This field is required."

    ], 

    "contents": [

        "This field is required."

    ]

}

What should I do?

Thank you for reading. :)

Hi,

With your current serializer, you need to perform a POST for answer similar to:

{"contents": "123", "question": [{'id': 1, "contents": "How old are you?"}]}

With your POST request, it looks like you want to use the PrimaryKeyRelatedField instead of nesting question in the AnswerSerializer.

Xavier,

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

Ah I need nesting question in the AnswerSerializer.

Just My mistake.

EDIT:

Actually I expected:

$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/answers -d "question=1&contents=13" -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4'

{

    "question": { 

        "id": 1, 

        "contents": "How old are you?",

    },

    "id": 1, 

    "contents": "13",

}

Anyway your answer is very good!

It's good for me!!

By the way, should I use json format for requesting via http POST method?
